Basic Jnlp file question

What tag do I need to add if I want to
pass some command-line parameters
to my main jar file? Does anybody know?
Any hints will be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Embedding basic http authentication credentials in JNLP file

I want to embed basic http authentication credentials in the JNLP file.
Basically, I want the jars to be behind basic http authentication in order to distribute the application only to authorized users (I understand this is not strong security, but it's fine for my purposes) who are all on Windows, and once the java app is initially installed, I never want to have to enter the http login credentials again.
So I set up the http authentication and in the jnlp file I have:
<jnlp
spec="1.5*"
codebase="http://username:[email protected]"
href="program.jnlp">
This doesn't seem to phase the JWS authenticator. So on the first launch from the desktop shortcut I put the credentials in manually and select "save this password in my password list". It seems like I'm in the clear as the next time I launch the application from a desktop shortcut I am not asked for any credentials, but every time the Windows machine is restarted, I get the JWS authenticator again...the password is no longer saved.
Is there a way to embed the username/password in the JNLP file to get past the JWS authenticator without having to retype the username and password every time the machine is restarted? Or to permanently save the password in the JWS authenticator password list? Or any other way to set it up where once the application is initially installed, the http authentication credentials never have to be manually entered again?
Thanks!

Hi everybody,
I manage to do almost all (I suppose), but I need last help.
Through SM59 I created the HTTP Destination needed; then, I implemented the code given by SAP here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/2d/64d053e74911d6b2e400508b6b8a93/content.htm
I ran the program, and it gives me the error: "Binder not found for soapAction = null.
I suppose that I should give the link to the soapAction, but I don't know where in the code.
Have you any idea?
Thanks and Regards,
Francesco

Specific version of jre in .jnlp file and downloading from local server

Hi,
I have couple of questions regarding the specific version of jre in Java WebStart.
1) I have specified the jre version in .jnlp file as below.
<resources>
<j2se version="1.3.1_02"/>
</resources>
When I saw the File/Preferences/Java of Java WebStart installation, there is an entry with the "Product Version" value as 1.3.1_02 as I installed jre also before launching my application. Still it complains as,
The application has requested a version of the Java 2 platform (JRE) that is currently not locally installed. Java Web Start was unable to automatically download and install the requested version. The JRE version must be installed manually.
Error Code 11 (11 Could not locate requested version) returned from server when accessing resource: (http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se, 1.3.1_02)
When it is there already, why it is trying to get from the Sun's site.
2) I want Java WebStart to download the specified version of jre from my local server, I specified this in the following way,
<resources os="Windows">
<j2se version="1.3.1_02" href="http://host:9095/j2re-1_3_1_02-win.exe"/>
</resource>
I got the error saying,
Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing resource: (http://host/j2re-1_3_1_02-win.exe, 1.3.1_02) - application/octet-stream. where host is my server name. What I need to do here.
Can I have multiple resource tags one for each os.
Help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sreedhar.

Hi Sreedhar,
There are some other useful threads in this forum on this topic:
the "Automatically Installing the IBM JRE 1.2.2" thread has tips from somebody who's put together auto-download of JREs from his own web site:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=38&thread=71061
Also, the behavior of the j2se tag is discussed a little in the "Using a specific JRE" thread: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=38&thread=158075
The first step is to add an href attribute to your j2se tag. I was just experimenting with this this afternoon,
and it appears that unless that href is specified (even if it's the java.sun.com default autodl URL!) JWS will not properly check locally-installed 1.3.1 JREs. Once you include Sun's autodl URL as an href, JWS will at least properly enforce the product version among locally-installed JREs. Of course, Sun doesn't actually include 1.3.1 in its autodl section, so it won't download it for you, but it will enable checking of the JREs already installed.
The second step is downloading JREs from your own web site, which is more complicated and explained better by other messages in the forum. But basically, JWS is not simply looking for a .exe installer for a particular JRE. It hits the webserver with a query and expects the webserver to give it back an installer's JNLP file. Look at the referenced threads for more details.

Deploying FX as a Desktop App - jnlp file codebase should be...what?

Howdy,
If I try and run my deployed JavaFX app on another PC I get an error pointing back to the codebase that NB created in the <appname>.jnlp file:
codebase="[http://localhost:8082/servlet/org.netbeans.modules.javafx.project.JnlpDownloadServlet/E%3A/JavaFX/Projects/Concentration/Concentration11/dist/]"My main question is, for a standalone desktop FX app you want to distribute, what should the codebase be?
I assume you don't point to your developer machine's URL because of course that won't exist on someone else's machine. And unlike most web examples, this won't be running from a server.
Many other examples refer to running the jar file from the command prompt - not acceptable if you are selling an applet, or even just distributing to the general public.
So how does this work - how do you set up the jnlp file for desktop deployment? And, do you have to manually do this, or is there something I am missing in NB (6.8) ?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Phil and thank you. I admit have been avoiding learning to compile from the command prompt or with other tools due to the ease that NB affords - but it seems that NB is introducing some issues lately.
I haven't tried the other tools yet, but I thought maybe I could just edit the NB created jnlp file:

Deploying a JNLP file to corporate users?

When it comes to Java, I'm pretty clueless. I was a VB programmer years ago, and now I deal mostly with Python apps.
I have a corporate client with ~80 workstations. One of their primary business applications is deployed by a jnlp file. Their tech support said to go to http://theirapplication.com/app.jnlp and the program will install.
I have tried a few test methods of getting this pushed out to every user.
The first was to deploy a shortcut to their desktop called "TheirApp" which pointed to that jnlp file.
In practice, that launches IE, downloads the JNLP file, checks if the app is installed, installs it if it isn't, and then runs the app. Plus, the app drops a new shortcut onto the desktop for directly launching the program. The shortcut points to javaws and then a long path to some per-user cache folder. So now users are confused by two shortcuts.
When the app initially starts, it asks for a bunch of settings--like really long account numbers. All this info appears to be per-user. So when users sit down at a different workstation (which happens frequently in their environment), clueless users are asked to install the app and put in all those initial settings.
The second method was a failure--I tried deploying a shortcut to start javaws pointing to that cache folder. I didn't really expect it to work. On new machines it failed because that app hadn't been installed into that cache folder yet. On existing installs, it would work for users that had previously installed it, but new users wouldn't work because the cache folder is stored under a different users settings folder.
So I guess my questions for the Java community would be these:
Is there a way to deploy a java webstart app per-machine?
Is there a way to share the same cache folder between all the users on the network so they see all the same settings?
Does anyone have similar experiences and suggestions on how to better deploy jnlp applications?
Thanks for reading.
-Aaron

To pre-install you can use the -import option.
Something like
javaws -import -silent http://whateverTheServer.ext/whateverTheJnlp.jnlpYou could even copy all files to a local server and override codebase with -codebase option.
You could try (but I've heard people complain about it) to use the -system option so that all machine users run same instance (app is installed once per machine, not once per user and machine).
About properties, the most common way to store data is to put them in the user.home dir, have a look there, maybe you can spot out a file (or a directory) and just tell user to copy their setting on a USB drive and paste them (into user.home) on any other machine they're gonna use.
Bye.

Always prompted to save JNLP file

Hello! We have a simple servlet that basically just queries a few things off of the HttpServletRequest and spits back a dynamically generated JNLP file. For some reason, when we were running with Tomcat 4.0.6 this worked fine, but with the upgrade to Tomcat 4.1.29 it does not. IE always prompts to open or save the file - it never just launches JWS automatically anymore.
Any suggestions on what we can fix? I'll put the interesting parts of the servlet below.
Thanks in advance!

The underlying problem is a combination of tomcat 4/5 being more standard and IE being less standard. Tomcat changed to automatically add ";charset=ISO-8859-1" to the end of the Content-Type header while IE appears to not correctly process the Content-Type header.
IE maintains a list of known MIME types in the registry under [HKCR]\MIME\Database\Content Type. There you will find an entry for 'application/x-java-jnlp-file' which indicates that this MIME type is treated as a file with the suffix '.jnlp'.
Unfortunately, IE treats EVERYTHING after the Content-Type: as the MIME type NOT just the stuff between the ':' and the ';'. Thus instead of looking for a registry entry for 'application/x-java-jnlp-file' it winds up looking for 'application/x-java-jnlp-file;charset=ISO-8859-1" and doesn't find it.
If you duplicate the 'application/x-java-jnlp-file' entry with the name 'application/x-java-jnlp-file;charset=ISO-8859-1' everything works. Alternatively, if you make sure the 'file name' portion of the URL which requests the jnlp spec has the suffix '.jnlp' IE will work correctly. If you are generating the jnlp spec via your own servlet you can control the behavior of Tomcat by calling 'setCharacterEncoding(null)' on the response object (note this is not a method of the HttpServletResponse interface, you have to cast to the underlying concrete type).
So, I think IE's use of the 'suffix' is non-standard and IE's handling of the Content-Type header field is just broken. If you can make the requesting URL have the .jnlp suffix you are ok; otherwise, there does not appear to be a good solution.

Console does not launch OVM 3.1.1, Win7x32 Firefox15/IE8 - Empty .jnlp file

I have installed Oracle VM Manager 3.1.1, and two Oracle VMS servers; all seems to have gone pretty well after some learning curve. After success here, I created Clone of the most recent PeopleTools 8.5.2 and PeopleSoft HCM templates, and was able to start those machines. (Or at least, the Virtual Machine status shows "Running..." - read on.)
However, when I try to launch the console, I get no success. First, when accessing the VMM server over HTTPS (port 7002), Java doesn't even try to start. Instead, basically, I get a screen blink and nothing else when I try to Launch Console from HTTPS. But when using HTTP:myVMM:7001, I get further. The Java logo appears briefly, and then I get "Application Error - Unable to launch the application" dialog. When I click on Details, I see the following under the Exception tab:
JNLParseException[ Could not parse launch file. Error at line 0.]

     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Looking further into this, the .jnlp that's presented to JAVA by Launch Console is zero bytes in length. What might cause the .jnlp file to be empty?

Thank you very much for your rapid reply, SPA2! It's encouraging!
You named the file correctly, and there is only one ovm_rasproxy-ws.jnlp on the system. It is at /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user/ovm_core/tgzc2b/war/ovm_rasproxy-ws.jnlp. It is not empty - has a size of 1028 bytes, and the contents are listed at the bottom of this message.
I don't know how to start the vncviewer directly from the OVM Manager machine. I did install the package (twice, in fact... and the second time stated "package tightvnc-java-1.3.9-3.noarch is already installed" There are no executables in the tightvnc-java-1.3.9-3.noarch.rpm package, and I have not found indication of what the URL would be. Can you help with that?

Java is not working." So I uninstalled and reinstalled Java. Now it is Java 7 Update 9.
Also - to further check this out, I did Save instead of Open from Firefox (IE does not give that option). Firefox saved a 0 byte file. I really appreciate the help.

I am getting a "java.lang.RuntimeException: Error loading file:....NULL content-length." message when attempting to load a jnlp file

I am the applications administrator for an instance of Galaxy server. In Galaxy there is an option / plugin to opne a BAM file via the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) created at the Broad Institute. When invoked it downloads a jnlp file and launches IGV and then is supposed to open the BAM file in the viewer. However, when it attempts to open the BAM file I get the following error:
"An Error occurred while loading: http://galaxy/display_application/52cef830ad5766ca/igv_bam/web/29212308ff643a94/data/galaxy_52cef830ad5766ca.bam

UPDATE
Compiling from command line I found out that the class definition for oracle.oats.scripting.modules.basic.api.IteratingVUserScript is missing. Do you know what .jar file contains this class?

Thanks for the pointer. Question that I have is I am referencing sqljdbc4.jar in my application, which in turn using sqljdbc_auth.dll.
Which one should i refernce through <nativelib>. Is it sqljdbc4.jar or sqljdbc_auth.dll.
have added the following line to the .jnlp.
<nativelib href="sqljdbc4.jar"/>
But still it is complaining on sqljdbc_audth.dll. If it is sqljdbc_auth.dll, can I use <nativelib> to pass it.
In that case does it need to be signed?. If so,
Is it possible to sign .dll using 'jarsigner'?.

I was about to post a question in the forums for this same issue, but I thought I'd reply to this thread instead. I am actually getting a fairly consistent error with this code. Here's my scenario:
I'm running an OSD TS which performs a "Format and Partition Disk" task immediately before an "Apply Operating System" task (well, almost immediately... there are a few tasks for setting custom variables and whatnot in between). The Format
and Partition Disk task returns a success code. The Apply Operating System task returns these lines (edited for relevance) with the command line "OSDApplyOS.exe /image:PRI00011,1 /target:C: /runfromnet:False":
'C:\' not a removable drive
The volume C:\ exists and is a local hard drive.
The volume C:\ is using a valid file system.
Windows target partition is 0-1, drive letter is C:\
Verifying boot volume is NTFS.
* Boot volume D:\ is not valid: unsupported file system. Please ensure the boot volume file system on the system you are applying the image to is NTFS. The request is not supported. (Error: 80070032; Source: Windows) *
I am specifying in the Apply Operating System task to apply the OS to a specific logical drive letter (C:). The odd part is that if I reboot the computer and run the task sequence again, it goes through just fine... every time. Thanks for your help.
* EDIT: I'm running SCCM 2012 R2.

Is there something wrong with my .jnlp file

Hi everyone...
I created a .jnlp file to run a program from my webpage.
I attach my .jnlp file which insidentally doesnt seem to work :) .

</jnlp>When i click the reference of the above from my webpage it gives me an error saying that it was anable to load the jar file. (Btw the jar file is on the webpage too).
Any help or comments will be appreciated
Cheers
Stav

Then when you upload the file you should be usingbinary mode FTP (if you use an FTP windowed program
it should do this for you).
Can you please clarify a bit on this?FTP transfers in two modes. Text (for .txt files .html files and the like) and binary (for images, jars and everything that isn't text)
Basically text files can get modified by FTP so that the line breaks and such are right for the target system. Binary files get left alone. Most of the time I actually haven't seen too many problems but it is possible for a binary-type file to get mangled by using text mode transfer.
Most FTP programs (other than raw console versions) will auto-detect the file type and use the appropriate version.
Like I said can you just download the jar file directly and use it. If not where does that fail?

How to customize automatically generated jnlp file

hi !
i am using sun application server 9.0.
i have written an application client, and deployed it to the server.
when i start the client via web-start, the application cannot load all classes, because there are some jars missing.
my question: is there a way to customize the jnlp file generated by the server.
especially to add some additional jars / extension packages ?
thanks
wolfgang

JNLP will not allow Java Web Start to set arbitrary properties w/o knowing them to be secure.
The built in list of known secure properties dosn't include this one.
On a given client machine you can set a property in the deployment.properties file to allow this property in ther jnlp file:
(in 1.5, or 1.4.2): deployment.javaws.secure.properties=java.net.preferIPv4Stack
This will only help you out for the given client machine
One way you might work around this is to create a small Extension Installer that adds this line to the clients deployment.properties file., but you'll have to sign the extension installer.

Calling JNLP file via Servlet

Hi Folks,
I need to pass runtime parameters to my jnlp file from URL param, like ?requestNum=12345&mergeId=1.
So I created a Servlet to process the request and add the requestParams at runtime in the JNLP file,
In the doGet Method I have teh following piece of code,
String[] args = new String[]{"requsetNum",request.getParameter("requestNum"),"mergeId",request.getParameter("mergeId")};
response.setContentType("application/x-java-jnlp-file");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
//It writes the jnlp content prperly in console, System.out.println(JnlpFileContentBase.readBeforeArgElementsContent()+JnlpFileContentBase.populateArguments(args)+JnlpFileContentBase.readAfterArgElementsContent());
//I split the jnlp file content before and after the argument area out.println(JnlpFileContentBase.readBeforeArgElementsContent()+JnlpFileContentBase.populateArguments(args)+JnlpFileContentBase.readAfterArgElementsContent());
out.close();
But when i run on server the above the jnlp is not starting up,
Am i missing something in the doGet method? is the PrintWriter out object is enough to write back the content?
Please help me to find out what am missing out here.
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for notifying that, but that due to my testings with several combinations, I copied the file and kept direcly under WEB-INF and under the webapps/ElemFinder and several places to see it could be retried or not. And hence copied one of the errors. Nothing worked btw.
I suspected initially it could be because of calling another jnlp file, but now i have my consolidated single jnlp file, but still have the FileNotFoundException for the jar file I have,
sb.append("<jar href=\"WEB-INF/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20081125.jar\"/>\n"); // code from Servlet
This is the firs jar resource under the resource elements
Where I get the Exception,
java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://localhost:8080/ElemFinder/ElemFinderEngineInvoker/WEB-INF/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20081125.jar
I think its basically issues with reading the resource files,
I tried with several options for this file either, placing under WEB-INF, under webapps/ElemFinder ... etc. Nothing seems to be working,
Any entries to be put in web.xml for this?
Pls help me to get rid of this....
Thanks
Subash
PS: BTW i dint try in teh util u gave sice the jnlp already is downloading from my App, do you think still needed to check in the util?
