Java Forum / General / November 2006JWS app does not update.
Hi, I'm familiar with the rules for JWS automatics updates, but my machine doesn't seem to follow those rules and the application is frequently stale (even when redeployed off the web). What could be the cause of this? For example, does one need to restart one's browser? Restart one's computer? Clear out temporary files? Thanks!

There are any number of reasons a JWS app. might not update as you might expect. Some of them are in the Java Plug-In configuration, others in the JNLP*, still others dependant on network availability (JWS will only ever wait 'so long' before abandoning a server check and using cached resources) > What could be the cause of this? See the JWS Plug-In config., *post the URL to your JNLP, ..and check the network connection and server speed.. > For example, does one need to restart one's browser? No. > Restart one's computer? No. > Clear out temporary files? Yes. But only when done .. - From the Java control panel (not the browser's cache) - Using the JWS (command line) -uninstall parameter. Now - since I've provided (some) help on your JWS matter, I could use some help (at least test results) on mine.

If I double click on a sss file, I get asked whether I want to let your app have read access. If I say yes, the app does not actually open the sss file I double clicked on, but rather, it presents a file open dialog. If I select the file and open it, the program continues loading normally. If instead, I click cancel, the program is frozen, and click on the X in the top right corner does not quite the program. I have to kill the process from the OS. Either way, the same problem happens on my system as you've described: The "Don't ask me again" checkbox doesn't seem to do anything. I'm always asked whether I want to allow read access. - Oliver > > I could use some help (at least test results) > > on mine. Details here.. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > app have read access.

The only way to access a File(Contents) in sandboxed JWS is via the FileOpenService, which introuduces the unnecessary dialog. Even worse, on my system (Winx XP Pro with Java 1.5.0_09) none of the file names I suggest appear in the file save service, the 'I understand these extensios' suggestions are largely ignored, and while the specific file I am interested in might appear in the dialog, but is never selected..) >...If I > select the file and open it, the program continues loading normally.

I'll need to fix that in very next version. >...I have to kill the process from > the OS. > > Either way, the same problem happens on my system as you've described: > The "Don't ask me again" checkbox doesn't seem to do anything.

We had problems with Java WebStart refreshing when using the offline-allowed element in our JNLP file. It appeared that that configuration caused the version check to time out excessively quickly. If that check doesn't complete, JWS assumed we were up-to-date. If you use offline-allowed, run an experiment without it. Of course, your currently deployed app will have offline-allowed, and may not update to the new version lacking offline-allowed. That's a bootstrap problem that I'll leave as an exercise for the reader... Now if you actually want offline-allowed, then it's just an artificial test to see if that's your problem. Post back if that helps. Regards, John Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months. There are no hidden fees and no obligation.
