Why does Web Start App ignore Proxy bypass/exception list in Proxy settings

Hi All,
I've been pulling my hair out on this one for a while now and finally decided to see if someone can help me out.
In my office I have a intranet of numerous devices and pcs connected. There is also a proxy server on the network to allow connection through the the internet. I have my proxy settings setup to bypass the proxy for any addresses on my intranet. This is set in the normal way by adding ( http://192.168.1. to proxy settings exception list in IE. This proxy bypass list works fine for all other situation except the following:
On my Intranet I have an embedded web server device I have been developing that has a java application deployed using web start. This application is a monitoring tool that allows the user to check the various settings and status of the embedded device. The problem is that when the app is launched for some reason web start tries to get the require jar file from the proxy instead of directly from the device, even when the IP address of the device it is trying to get it from is in the bypass list?? I don't think Web start is checking the exception/bypass list in the proxy settings to see if it should be using the proxy or not?? I can see this by using wireshark and inspecting the GET HTTP requests sent from my pc to the proxy server instead of directly to the ip address of the embedded device.
If I change my proxy settings to use a direct connection/no proxy (untick the "use proxy server for your lan" box in IE settings) then everything works fine. However this is not a workable option for my customers as they don't want to have to continually change these settings when connecting to this device and then to the internet (which is the whole reason of having the exception / bypass list).
I've tried many things including using the proxy settings in the Java console instead of getting them from the browser but the same thing occurs.
Any help would much appreciated, as I not sure if it is something I am doing wrong, or a possible bug, or just the way it is meant to work??
I'm using the following...
Java version: 1.6 1.6.0_17
Operating system: ( I've tried XP and Vista)

I have the same problem, please anyone can help?

    why does google start up but when i try to access a web page it shuts off

    Not entirely sure what you mean, but if you are saying that the Safari screen is frozen/inactive then try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Passing a parameter to a Web start app

    Hi, I'm having trouble getting a single integer value into my web start application. I understand how you do this with a JNLP however I need a different value for this integer depending on a PHP script. With applets it was fairly simple but with web start apps it seems a little more complex - the only way I could think of was to recreate the entire JNLP file via the PHP script which seems a bit cumbersome if all that's changing is a single integer.
    I had a look around on the web for information about this but it seems that information on passing parameters to web start applications is few and far between.
    I'd be very grateful for an answer!
    Thanks.

    alex.p wrote:
    So in this case how would I pass the integer as a parameter to the webstart app. Is there no way of simply putting it in the link to the JNLP e.g ?
    You could do that if you liked. Is there some expectation that the user will run the web start application after you do that? Or that the user won't already be running it? Or that the user will ever run it? I think you should back up and try to figure out what the point of this parameter is. Is it supposed to make something happen? Or are you just changing the application for the next time a user gets around to using it? Or what? As I said, this really doesn't make much sense so you need to provide a requirement that does make sense if you want to get anywhere at all.

  • My web start app doesn't get cached

    Many apologies if this topic has been covered before but I have extensively searched the archive and can't seem to find it.
    I have made my own trivial web start app and it downloads and works fine with my installed web start software. The problem I have is that when I launch the web start application manager and start my app from there the app does not apear in the "downloaded applications" section and hence I can't get to run it unless I have a connection.
    Firstly I though I may be missing the <offline-allowed/> element from the JNLP file but it wasn't that. Then I thought it may be because my jars aren't signed but then the examples from sun worked OK and they weren't signed at all.
    I have checked in the web starts cache directory and it looks to me as if the correct jars are in there but still the application manager won't show my app as one of the downloaded ones.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Gareth Walker

    The Java Web Start application Manager will only display applications who's jnlp files are cached.
    In order to cache your jnlp file you need to include an href attribute for the jnlp element in your jnlp
    file. This may not allways be possible if your jnlp file is programatically generated by a servlet,
    but it works for static jnlp files.

  • Java Signing issues when loading web start app

    Hey, not sure if this is the correct place for this - but couldn't think where else to put it...
    I'm a bit stuck at the moment and i wondered if anyone could shed some light on my problem, and where I might go from here.
    We've developed a EJB3 application that has a web start UI for users to start... The application is developed in Eclipse and compiled and deployed with ant build scripts... When we deploy the application from within Eclipse everything runs smoothly and users are able to start the web start app without any problems... However I've recently tried setting up a Continuous Integration server (Hudson) for us to test new deploys on and for this our build scripts need to be run outside of Eclipse...
    This appears to run without a problem, however each time the system is deployed from here the web start application fails to start because web start cannot verify the signing in the client jar
    Could not verify signing in resource: http://10.39.216.5:8080/mist2/lib/mist2-client.jarAs far as I can tell from the output of the build everything goes according to plan and there is little difference between the output if the build had been started in eclipse... The only big difference is that when building in Eclipse the build only packs up the compiled code, because Eclipse auto build the application, whereas in Hudson the code is clean built using the ant scripts (which are created by Eclipse)... and if I turn autobuild off eclipse and build the project from scratch using only the build scripts then the same problem arises...
    I'm not really an expert on jar signing so I can't really guess at what might cause the verification to fail... any hints would be much appreciated. It feels like there is something that the Eclipse compiler does that is missing from the scripts but I can't think what this might be as the scripts are created in Eclipse
    Thanks
    Alex

    Alex,
    I believe your problem might be similar to one I had. According to one forum response (of course I can't find it now), if you have third-party JARs in your application (which in your case would be any eclipse jars), they might already be signed by their originators (as are eclipse jars), which may cause some really strange errors.
    The solution for me was to package my third-party (that is, eclipse) jars into their own feature, separate from my application's feature. So, my main jnlp file has an extension to my application's feature jnlp, and that feature's jnlp file has an extension to yet another jnlp file containing the list of third-party (eclipse) jars. Of course, your jar list will probably be different than mine.
    Here's all three files. Hope this helps!!

  • Why sun leader do not think about  "Why Java Web Start not be used widely"

    {color:#ff0000}Why sun leader do not think about "Why Java Web Start not be used widely"
    {color}
    Java Web Start was instruduced in jdk1.2, it's about ten years ago,But it's still not widely used--WHY?
    it's not because the design, it's becasue the code--the garbage code-- even the last version not work in many user computers,
    just not work suddendly -- noboday know reason--- if you do not believe, please google internet, many people suffered and suffering from web start!
    It's incredible that a famous big company like sun can not resolve an deployment problen in ten years that some very small company can do good work in much more short time !!!
    That' sun-- always say and design good things, then publish trouble and pain to their users. I really do not know what the sun's engineers are doing in so
    many years! -- why they do not know deployment is so important than others -- if deployment work fine, then the wrong thing can be correct easy !
    Sun, please do an famous big company -- give happy to user rather than pain !!! Please give us -- your users an stable and fast java web start to save us.
    {color:#ff6600}(Note: I use java web start to depoly our application, then receive endless complains, not work, slow and so on. now, we has no way just to give it up--design ourself's deployment-- that's also done by many pained people---just google it){color}
    Here is an desing suggestion:
    Client-end should be simple and stable, should let the server-end do complex thing .(now sun do opposite thing, they make Client-end complex, but server simple) ---it's because that Client-end will take widely effect on user's computer. update a few server is much more easy then update a amount of clients!

  • Java Web Start.app, apparent problems.

    I have been experiencing many small problems during web browsing, etc. and have received terrific help from Barry Hemphill but he is unable to help on Java matters.
    When I open Java Web Start app. I get the following message; "You cannot open Java Web Start.app because it it is damaged or incomplete". This is possibly, at least by the app's. name the cause of my troubles, though I am guessing. Can anyone guide me to where I can download and re-install the app. to see if it does overcome my problems. A typical one of them is happening as I type, the screen characters are lagging heavily behind my two-finger typing.

  • Why Java Web Start doesn't support Pack200 out-of-the-box?

    Hello All,
    Why Java Web Start doesn't support Pack200 out-of-the-box? I was hoping that Java 6 would make things easier by adding direct support for Pack200 in Java Web Start and JNLP without needing to use servlets, etc.? All my clients are Java 5 or above so I can't push the Pack200 compressed version of the jar to every single one of them and there is no selection process needed. But I can't do it because of the servlet or complex Apache server setup requirement (it would be a headache to get customers' web server admins to set up Apache or whatever web server that way).
    My question is why is there unwillingness to add Pack200 support directly to Java Web Start and JNLP so that you can start Pack200 compressed jars just like you would start any jar using Java Web Start? Is te a technical problem?
    Thank you,
    Mete Kural

    Hallo,
    I didn�t try it, but the webstart FAQ�s read:
    Can I use Pack200 compression with the JnlpDownloadServlet?
    Yes. The JnlpDownloadServlet distributed in the samples directory of the JDK now supports Pack200. If you deploy yourfile.jar along with yourfile.jar.pack.gz the packed file will be downloaded when the client is running Java Web Start 1.5.0 or later.
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/faq.html#217
    For further information you may want to look at
    http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/developersguide/downloadservletguide.html#pack200
    The configuration of the server and the the servlet (as described in the second link) is as easy as it seems.
    I got it working on the first try and it was my first experience with websevers at all.

    Your jnlp checker Vanessa is quite useful.
    Is the source available, because I would like to fix a bug or two I noticed.
    Then check out Gentleware's Poseidon.
    http://www.gentleware.com/download/Poseidon4umlJWS.jnlp
    It is a commercial version of Tigris.org's ArgoUML, a free UML editor,
    which is webstartable as well:
    http://argouml.tigris.org/files/documents/4/0/0100/ArgoUMLWebStart.jnlp
    Interesting about Poseidon was how they implemented key registration for their JWS app, a common task for commercial applications.
    However Poseidon unwillingly illustrates limitations of the present JWS implementation - this beast is large (about 10-30 MB).
    I loaded it at home via an ISDN link (8KB/s) and it took much time. The download was interrupted for several times, I hadn't start to download again from zero, because the app is splitted into several smaller jars, but still had to reload interrupted jars.
    Some days later it turned out that the disk I had the JWS cache on got full. Thus I wanted to move my precious downloads to another partition, which is not possible. You can't move cache contents elsewere, so I had to redownload it again later (ouch).
    An interesting bit about ArgoUML is how they speed up their large app by forcing class loading in a background thread. I saw that in their source and want to try out that technique myself soon, perhaps it gives a little speed advantage.

    Marc
