BIB-1004

Question

I am getting the following error while running the java client application using WebStart Technology. This same application runs fine when directly run from JDevloper without using Webstart. Please help me to resolve this problem.
oracle.dss.appmodule.client.BISessionException: BIB-1004 No configuration file specified or specified configuration file cannot be found.

I checked the jar file and it has got all the files it need. The same application running is fine when run from the command prompt. ( that proves that the jar file has got everything it needs to run the application). But it gives the configuration file not found error when downloaded and run using the webstart technology. I think the application code has to be changed for retrieving the resources files(configuratrion files, images etc..) in such a way that it is compatible with the webstart technology. I came to know about this while reading the following URL.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jws/developersguide/development.html#security
I am not sure of the extent of the changes and various places I need to make the changes to the application for retrieving the resource files correctly.
Do you have sample for java client application which works with webstart technology? Please help me in this becuase webstart is a very efficeint technogy to distribute the application to users. It would be great to have sample which does this.
