Diference between a batch file and jnlp file

Question

Dear all,
I have a question that might sound simple, but excuse me, coz I am new to jnlp.
I run my appliction using a simple batch file:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05
@set RUN=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe -Xms32m -Xmx128m -classpath .;myapp.jar pack.app.Main -connection jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.0.0.1:1521:ABC -webroot http://10.0.0.2:8080/test
%RUN%
The jnlp file I use to start the same application is:
<jnlp codebase="http://10.0.0.2:8080/test/app">
<information>
</information>
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
<j2se version="1.4+"/>
<jar href="myapp.jar"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="pack.app.Main ">
<argument>-codebase</argument>
<argument>http://10.0.0.2:8080/test/app</argument>
<argument>-webroot</argument>
<argument>http://10.0.0.2:8080/test</argument>
<argument>-dbrpc</argument>
</application-desc>
</jnlp>
I encountered two problems:
1. The aplication hangs when I click certain buttons, which is not the case when I run it normally from the batch file.
2. Some buttons do not even appear, where they appear normally using the batch file.
I would appreciate any hints that could help.

You could make a self extracting EXE with WinZip, and then do something like..  (You would create an application with source files to do this, with the below code being your 'install.bat')
@echo off
xcopy "AppFiles.exe" %WINDIR%\Temp
%WINDIR%\Temp\AppFiles.exe
%WINDIR%\Temp\AppFiles\Install.exe
RMDIR /S /Q %WINDIR%\Temp\AppFiles
If you monitor the install and your satisfied its working correctly, you can modify the success return codes under the 'Option' tab, or just check the box 'Continue on Error' to keep the build rolling after this install is complete.  Additionally, you
may find this works better as VBS script.
