Cannot start Web Client

Question

Hi,
I recently installed Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management, Fusion Edition.
Ive created a new application and repository using the management console succesfully, however when I try to run the Web Client, I get:
--------================================
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems
More information =============================-------------
The url generated is http://localhost/drm-web-client
I am running on windows 7, 64bit and XP respectively with the same results.
Regards,
Olu

It sounds like you are trying to access the file as if your JNLP application were running on the server. The JNLP app is running on the client machine, so you will need to use a URL to open the file. Take a look at the JavaDocs for the following:
     java.net.URL
     java.net.URI
     java.net.File
You also need to be sure your server is configured to serve the file. For example, you ought to be able to access the file through your browser using something like http://www.myco.com/myapp/myfile.txt. (How you configure your server is a topic for a different forum.)
You probably also want to look into JavaWS security, and even Java security in general to determine if you need to sign your app or not. Here are some links to get you started:
