Java Web Start doesn't start (Windows XP)

Hi,
I've installed Java Web Start on a Windows XP machine. When I try to run an application or I try to open Java Web Start directly the "Java Web Start" splash screen appears for a few seconds and than disappears and nothing else happens.
I heard that other people using Windows XP have the same problem. Can anyone help?
Java Runtime is 1.4.0, but I also tried some other runtimes as well with the same result.
Thanks in advance
Markus

Hi,
I found some stuff, but it didn't work for me. Maybe you can give it a try.
1. Deactivate Proxy
Add or edit javaws.cfg.proxy.setting=NONE in the javaws.cfg file.
2. Deactivate Splashscreen
Add option "-Xnosplash" in the Windows registry for the .JNLP ending, i.e. "C:\Program Files\Java Web Start\javaws.exe" "-Xnosplash" "%1"
3. Run with Java VM
I created a .BAT file:
SET JWS=C:/Programme/Java Web Start
java -cp "%JWS%/javaws.jar" "-Djnlpx.home=%JWS%" com.sun.javaws.Main %1
To run Java Web Start simply run the .BAT file. To run a specific application run the .BAT file with the complete URL of the .JNLP file.
If this works for you, please drop a note here! Thanks!

Personal Web Sharing doesn't start up

A while ago I shut off the "Personal Web Sharing" tool simply because I did not need it. However at this moment I'm trying to restart it (which I assume is the Apache web service). So I go to System Preferences -> Sharing, and tick the "Personal Web Sharing" box. However, when I do, all I get is the message "Web sharing is starting up..." It stalls there and doesn't go any further.
I haven't made any changes to Apache, but I have attempted to install PHP on my system using the package on http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/ -- it failed, giving me a generic error message.
Is there a solution to this problem? Does it have anything to do with the messed-up PHP installation?

I am experiencing the same problem: going through the System Preferences (in OSX 10.4.10), to the Sharing pane, then the Services Tab, and clicking Start Personal Web Sharing only gives me "Starting Web Sharing..." and never actually starts it.
I have tried the following solutions:
• replaced httpd.conf files using both the httpd.conf.default file from the machine in error as well as from another Mac (adapting the usernames as appropriate)
• replacing the entire /private/etc/httpd directory with the one from the other Mac, whose Web Server will start up
• when starting it via Terminal, i get "fopen: no such file or directory" so I created it... no dice.
Can anybody give me any more suggestions?
If not, I do have AppleCare on it - think they might help?

WEB server doesn't start after php5 install failed

Hi,
Running a PPC G4 with osx server 10.3.9
I tried to install entropy php 5.1.6 on my server but it failed and said it could not complete the install.
After that my web service stopped and I can't turn it on anymore.
Please HELP !
I can't reinstall the whole OS because I need ton keep my MySQL DB.
When doing [sudo apachectl start]
I get the error :
dyld: /usr/sbin/httpd Undefined symbols:
_untitled
/usr/sbin/apachectl: line 193: 850 Trace/BPT trap $HTTPD
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Thanks

Just found the answer on Entropy
php5.1.6 from entropy is for 10.4 only apparently
Someone just gave me 5.1.2 and it worked fine after I completely reinstalled my Server...
So remember OSX Server 10.3.9 loves 5.1.2 php package from entropy,
Just install the package of php5 as your php4 module is off and the web service stopped
Then add the module of php5 in your list
Finally turn on web service and ENJOY !

Java web installation fails on Lenovo Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

The old thread on this topic was mysteriously deleted so I am posting again as I have found the correct solution.
The correct workaround for this issue is to set Internet Explorer as your default browser, then set Chrome back as default browser. After you do that the installers will work correctly.
On the old thread, someone posted to use XP compatibility mode as a workaround. This is NOT correct; if you do this, the automatic updates will not work correctly and your computer will be left vulnerable to hackers. The same goes for using the "offline" installers.

Do you have Logitech gaming software installed on the PC? If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:
Re: Everytime I close Itunes it loads back up

Java Web Start(the program itself) doesn't start in offline mode

Hi,
My Java Web Start doesn't start when my internet connection is not on??? I have a program that needs also offline access so it's crucial to get JWS work without internet connection as well.
The problem might be in those sun's example programs you can't remove? Maybe the program crashes when trying to get some information for those programs?
(please read the question well. My problem IS NOT in the .jnlp-files <offline-allowed/>)
And by the way those sun's demo programs that are supposed to start in offline mode(Internet connection not required) don't start even if you have started them once with the connection on.....
-orainio

I have the SAME problem -
BUT....
it NEVER works for me (online & offline)
this stupid logon pops up and after a while disappears and nothing happens!
got no fire wall, proxy etc...
(win XP)
plz helppppppppp

Web Start doesn't run after install

Hi all,
I'm wondering wether Web Start doesn't start after successful installation. Only the splash screen is shown a while when starting JWS and the administration screen doesn't pop up.
I've read some mails about similiar problems (proxy?), but didn't resolve the problem yet.
NT 4.0 SP 5, JWS 1.01._01 with RT
also tried: JSDK 1.4 beta3 with JWS included
please help. thank you
regards, thomas

Hello,
I am not sure, but this does sound like I had the same problem. I got the following reply:
Take a look at:
http://www.geocities.com/vamp201/jwsfaq.html
--> 'Why can't I start Web Start's app manager under Windows? Why does the app manager's preferences dialog fail to appear? '
This might be a proxy issue. Try to turn off your proxy by putting
javaws.cfg.proxy.setting=NONE
in your 'javaws.cfg' file and see if it Web Start's app manager shows up then.
I have added the line mentioned above, and it worked fine. In addition I added the following line:
javaws.cfg.jre.default=0
Check this out and good luck!

Java Web Services Developer Pack v1.2

I recently installed J2SE v1.4.2 Beta on my computer and it works fine with the platform, which is Windows XP Home Edition.
Now, I like to learn Java Servlet Technology and had searched through the downloads pages. I found Java Web Services Developer Pack v1.2. But I have doubt about this: Is there any problem to run Java Web Services Developer Pack on Windows XP HOME Edition? I learnt that Sun engineers had it tested on Windows XP Professional Edition.
I will appreciate any comments and opinions. Thanks in advance!

doesn't mean it won't work on home edition. just means that they probably think anyone who might want to use J2WSDP will prob have Pro...

Application started using Java Web Start doesn't launch the first time

I have a Facebook photo uploader application that I plan to distribute using Java Web Start. I'm using Java 6u4 on Windows XP SP2 with 2GB of RAM. I have Java 6u3, Java 6u4 and Java 5 u14 installed and I'm sure the one used is Java 6u4.
I signed my application and make use of all security settings.

The first time the application is installed using a link on the browser it's downloaded then the certificate dialog is shown, after that I check the checkbox to accept the certificate permanently. The application doesn't load, it only loads the second time although I see it in the task manager. If I don't accept the certificate permanently it does load. This happens on both Firefox 2 and IE 7. I enabled the console and logging but nothing shows up there.That's really a weird problem, I wonder if Java Web Start is a viable deployment option, it does have great capabilities such as autoupdate but still seems to have important bugs.
Does anyone have any clue about what is going on.
The problem doesn't occur on Ubuntu 7.10.
Thanks,

You were right my XML file was not correct. I still couldn't find a valid JNLP validator. Sun has to provide that.>No they don't (have to supply a validator for their own document type, though it makes sense to do so), but yes they do (provide a tool that validates XML against schemas). Java can validate XML against a DTD or XSD.
Check these two threads (and chase the links) for more details.
JNLP xsd schema
<http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/c6f65bf1df5f105d/30c6b7e2dc342dc4>
Validate XML against DTD? XSD OK. SSCCE.
<http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/5b997a1edb765b11/e831f3066eb4aa38>
Look especially for the posts by Piotr Kobzda.
I had a tool on my site based largely on Piotr's codes, that linked to a valid JNLP DTD and XSD, but unfortunately my site is offline at the moment. Andy assures me that the JNLP 6.0 DTD has been corrected for the developer ..download tutorials of web start, though the online (web site) version may still be invalid.

Java web start running on windows NT4 work station

I have installed java web start on a windows NT4 work station (service pack 6) with a directx v5. I successfuly launch the sun applications such as swing set 2, but I have some troubles concerning our software which used another look and feel than the default one. A system error is raised saying that the library ddraw.dll could not be loaded.
I have unistalled and re-installed directx v5 but the error is still raised.
Does any one can help me to solve this problem ?.
Thank you.

Hello Sim085
thanks for your reply.
Perhaps it would be easier for us to continue the programming with any kind of VisualStudio Produkt ;-), although we dont't had to think about OOP yet!
Because of our new Network-Technology (Terminal-Server) we have to discuss serveral possibilities.
I've read about JSP and ASP.NET, and I want to know if JSP or any kind of JAVA Program will run on a Terminal-Server.
Are there any special aspects I have to know when running JSP on a terminal server from Microsoft? Is it better to program applications in JAVA or in JSP? ...
Thanks

Java web start in Windows vista

Hi,
1)
When i tried to launch my Java Web start application in Windows Vista (32bit) With Jre 1.6_06 the java web start did not loaded. the process terminates at certain points.
By Remote debugging got to know,: It was exiting the application at different points at different time
At some points it says ClassNotFoundException. No logs at cache location also.
Is it due to the jars are not loaded properly?? Jnlp is pasted bellow
2) another problem here is the system did not have the jre installed earlier. how does system identified the jnlp file format if no jre available first time??
So rather auto download I have installed jre manually and was launching the application
thanks a lot,

Java Web Start didn't install with j2sdk-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe

I just uninstalled all my java stuff from my XP Pro system
then re-installed... j2sdk-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe
With the SDK installation... j2re1.4.2_04 also installed... I think this is the Java Runtime
But, before I had a folder for Java Web Start... not I don't...
AND, the file... javaws-1_2-windows-i586-i.exe
refered to on the Java Web Start Installation page isn't on my system anymore...
(It was in an older vrsion of the Java Runtime... ( I had 2 java Runtimes at once installed, that is why I uninstalled... and even though I had Java Web Start, it wasn't working... so I deleted everything and reinstalled the j2sdk-1_2_04-windiws-i586-p.exe.)
I would just download the java Web Start but the docs tell me it should be installed when the SDK and Runtime are installed... so I worry if I got the installation correct.
Can anyone please advise me of how to get things working again.
thanks for any help - Will

I fixed this broblem just install both JDK and JRE.

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.

Windows Printing vs Java Web Start

I am having a hard time printing from a Java Web Start application to a printer attached to a Windows server. I don't have problems with this printer and other (i.e Mac) applications. When I try to print from the JWS app the job gets sent to the Printer window but the Status is "On Hold (Authentication Required)". If I click the Resume button I get prompted for my (Windows) username and password, after that the print job goes through normally. I noticed the Print window shows this job's username as "System Administrator". When when I print from a Mac application the username is blank and the print job goes straight to the printer. The Activity Monitor shows I am the owner of the JWS process. On Tiger web start just prints normally. This is very frustrating. Any ideas?

I have tested this further and have additional observations.
1. The problem is observed in java applications, like JEdit, not just web start applications.
2. The scenario described in the original post applies to admin users. It is possible to work around the issue by creating a custom printing queue using the Advanced tab in the Printing CP. The normal Windows printing queue looks like: "smb://printServer:port/Printer". If you create a custom queue of this form: "smb://windowsUsername:password@printServer:port/Printer" then the java application will print without requiring further confirmation in the Print queue dialog.
3. The scenario and workaround do not work with a standard user. With a standard user the java application presents a modal dialog that indicates a printing failure. The dialog does not get dismissed after clicking the OK button, but does close when the java application is quit. I have not found any work arounds that allow standard users to print.
