JNLP Error resource not found...

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to use versioning in a JNLP file. But I get errors when:
1. if I have version="0.8" I get resource not found. If not entered jar found with no issues.
2. If I use __V0.8"  added to the file name the same issue. But if I use _V0.8" without the second underscore then no error.
This happens when useing jre 1.6.0_45 or jre 1.7.0_51 on windows 8 or 7.
I have found no real examples using this format for version control on web start.
Thanks!

hi
go to Application folder for finding jar files
goto start menu -> run -> Javaws -> File -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Applications folder
(C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache)
you should have run the IR or ID at least once to find the Jar files in that folder. It is usually placed in http folder in cache
you do not generate them...every time you click on IR / ID links which have a .jnlp extension which is associated with Java web start, it checks if it has already downloaded version of the jar files on the local system in the folder as mentioned ..if yes..then the application starts using the cached jar files and if not then downloads those jar files first...but offcourse...you never create them
i think this solves your issue
if problem persists  re-installed freshly  j2sdk1.4.2_04
reward  points if helpfull
