web start

ivan danicic - 11 Apr 2007 13:56 GMT
Hello all, I am trying to install my first web start program into my web
page. When I click on the link to the jnlp file, instead of trying to run
it it asks what do I want to do with it. This is obviously wrong and I'd be
grateful for any suggestions.

URL?

What content type is the server identifying
the JNLP file as?

Answer the above questions (all three of them).
* Note that some browsers need to be configured
to understand JNLP files.

It is configured, it runs happily other web start progs.

Thanks.  Your comment below (works for other JNLP)
makes me think it is a server configuration problem.*

So the JNLP is..
<http://ivand.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/myw3/webstart/realex.jnlp> ?

..checking it at..
<http://mindprod.com/jgloss/mime.html>
server MIME type: text/plain
proper MIME type: application/x-java-jnlp-file

That is the immediate problem.

(And I could have determined all that on the first
post, if you had included the JNLP URL - note
for future.  You seem to want to make it hard,
for people that are trying to help you.)

Sorry, I just missed that. How should I correct that problem?

Hello Andrew, thanks for this. Changing this mime thing in konqueror looks
horribly complicated, but I'll try.

On second thoughts, why does my browser work ok with other people's web
start? This suggests that the file associations are all right anyway.

Because other people's *servers* are configured correctly. It's got nothing
to do with how your browser is set up.

Spot on.  I was hoping the Google search would
lead you to the top link..
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/faq.html>
And a 'find' in that page for 'mime' would lead you
directly to qn. 23.

Hello clever dicks, I had indeed been led to this but knew not what to do
with it. I have no idea what a server is in this case.

   See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_server

   Presumably, you've paid someone so that the URL
http://ivand.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/myw3/ points to your homepage. Contact
the people you've paid for help on configuring your server.

Hi dumb a.s*,

>with it.

The smart thing to do at that point, would have been to
research it, as suggested by Oliver, or to *ask*, rather than
make comments about your browser.

If you figure how to ask 'smart questions' I might decide to
help you in future, but for the moment I wil waste no further
time on you.  

>I have no idea what a server is in this case.

You will probably remain unenlightened, with the
way you're going.

* As an aside, I'd prefer to be a 'clever dick', than a 'dumb a.s'.
