JSP creation of JNLP - MS IE ignoring setContentType() but OK on Firefox?!?

Hi,
I've got a JSP which generates a JNLP file with parameters from a form input.
I'm setting the mime type using:
<% response.setContentType("application/x-java-jnlp-file"); %>
BUT MS IE is unhappy/dumb about this and is showing me the File Download dialog saying "File name: abc.jsp, File type: "Would you like to open the file or save it to your computer? <ie no file type!>
FIREFOX on the other hand is perfectly happy, recognising the content as JNLP and offers to open with WebStart.
What gives?! I'm sure I've had this work on IE before!

For the Internet Explorer JNLP setup, the way IE finds its way involved the Windows Registry and, specifically, three different keys.
First, I should mention that Internet Explorer attempts to use the same file associations that already existed in Windows Explorer. You perhaps have had to tell Windows Explorer to "Open File with..." so that it learns a new file type. What this does not do is inform the desktop what the MIME type of that file is. For the JNLP files, the short names the registry uses is:
JNLPFile - generic name for this file type
.jnlp - literal file suffix, appropriate when the file is opened via Windows Explorer
application/x-java-jnlp-file - literal MIME type
Here are the keys, but I do not recommend that you attempt to enter them by hand. Le the Java installation program set these registry entries up:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-java-jnlp-file]
"Extension"=".jnlp"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jnlp]
@="JNLPFile"
"Content Type"="application/x-java-jnlp-file"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JNLPFile]
@="JNLP File"
"EditFlags"=hex:00,00,01,00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JNLPFile\Shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JNLPFile\Shell\Open]
@="&Launch"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JNLPFile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\j2re1.4.2_06\\javaws\\javaws.exe\" \"%1\""

  • Why jws doesn't start when i use jsp as dynamic jnlp?

    hello everyone,
    i use a jsp as dynamic jnlp to resolve the relative codebase problem,but jws can not start. while i use jnlp, there is no problem.i check the http head the jsp reterned,it seems no problem (it returns "application/x-java-jnlp-file" content type), but jws does not start and the browser opens it as a plan text. below is the http head the jsp and jnlp returned, i can not see any obvious difference that prevent jws start. hope somobody can help me, thanks.

  • HT1766 yesterday i connect my iPhone with iTunes then one MSG displayed on screen about backup i ignore that but same time i have lost all my installed app from my iPhone pls help me.

    yesterday i connect my iPhone with iTunes then one MSG displayed on screen about backup i ignore that but same time i have lost all my installed apps incouled my pics and vids from my iPhone pls help me.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • JSP, APPLET and JNLP

    OK, here is my question, we have a simple (sic) application, which consists of jsps, applets ( Runtime.exec ), I have been suggested to use jnlp and jws, A typical JSP page looks like this.

    :Bunch of JSP /HTML stuff
    <APPLET>
    </APPLET>
    Bunch of jsp/HTML/javascript stuff
    How should i go about changing it to jsp + jnlp, Any insight is helpful.

  • WSDL JSP creation problem

    Hi,
    I'm triyng to build a Web Service for WLS6.1SP2, using Ant 1.4.1.
    Because our WS project should compile with other Projects, I cannot use WebLogic's
    ant and thus 'wsgen' task.
    I tried
    <taskdef name="wsgen"
    classpath="${ANT_HOME}/lib/ant.jar;${WL_HOME}/lib/weblogic.jar;${WL_HOME}/lib/xmlx.jar"
    classname="weblogic.ant.taskdefs.ejb.WSGen"/>
    .. it doen't work for me.
    So, I tried to assemble WS EAR 'manually' (using Ant 1.4.1). It would work OK, if
    not one problem: utility-generated WSDL JSP contains a wrong URI to the service.
    This URI in the very last line of the JSP contains an unnecessary slash in the end.
    For example:
    <java classname="weblogic.soap.wsdl.Remote2WSDL" fork="yes"
    output="${dir.build.war}/${MYBEAN_JNDI}/wsdl.jsp">
    <arg line="mypackage.MyBean webservice/mybeanuri -protocol http"/>
    ..will generate a JSP with SOAP-address like
    <soap:address location="http://<%= request.getServerName() %>:<%= request.getServerPort()
    %>/webservice/mybeanuri/"/>
    Client obtains a remote interface, but cannot perform any call, because of
    java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://myserver.agfa.be:80/webservice/mybeanuri/
    Although, if I edit the JSP and remove the last '/' from the path, it works OK.
    Is there any workaround to automate the WS EAR generation without using WebLogic's
    ant?
    thanks,
    Vitaly

    Hi,
    I've just discovered 'replace' task of ANT, which solves my (and possibly someone
    else's) problem.

  • Using JSP to run batch file - command launches excel but doesn't open file

    I have written a jsp on a server which runs a batch file. Every command line in the batch works fine except the following:
    CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" C:\Temp\spreadsheet.xls
    I can see that a command prompt has been opened and an instance of Excel has been created, but it does not open the file.
    I tried running the batch file on its own. It worked fine. I tried putting the java code in the jsp into a java class, that worked okay too. I think it might be to do with the fact that the client is trying lauch the application through the web, but it's missing some information such as paths.
    I am totally running out of ideas.. please help

    I guess if I know JSP stands for Java Server Pages..
    I would most probably know it runs on servers.Yes, you might, but if you were assuming that the path you gave would always lead to an executable running on the client you'd have a problem. It's worth asking.
    I must admit it's probably not the best idea, but if
    you can give me some advice on that, that would be
    greatJSPs shouldn't have code in them that doesn't pertain to view. I'd wrap something like a system call or Runtime.exec in a Java Bean that you can test off-line without the JSP. Then have the JSP instantiate an instance, invoke its method, and display the value that's returned.
    You've read this, of course:
    http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
    Everyone who uses Runtime.exec should.

  • I used tag to show PDF file inside my JSP page, It is working properly in IE but nothing shows in Mozilla. What should I do?

    I've used to display a PDF file inside my JSP page. It is working fine in IE. However, many of users of this application are using Mozilla and the platform is Ubuntu so it is vital that the file is shown in Mozilla as well. How can I solve this problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I run my jsp page

    Such conditional code will only work in IE and not in other browsers like Firefox.

  • How to ignore SDO_GEOMETRY but capture with CDC

    Hi,
    Is it possible to set up a table with an SDO_GEOMETRY for CDC, ignoring the SDO_GEOMETRY columns but capturing the remaining data?
    Im using ODI to deploy the CDC and underlying apply + capture processes, I've tried removing the column in question from the ODI metadata, so for all intents its ignored in any generated code (supplemental log groups etc) but my DBA_CAPTURE view is not surprisingly showing the following :
    "ORA-26744: STREAMS capture process "CDC$C_EBIZ_AR" does not support "DGDW_TEST"."HZ_LOCATIONS" because of the following reason:
    ORA-26783: Column data type not supported
    So can I somehow ignore the problem column but capture the rest ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alastair

    Hi,
    First check whether the given object is supported by streams are not by querying DBA_STREAMS_UNSUPPORTED.
    If it is supported then we can set the negative rule to avoide the problematic column.

  • JDBC/JSP/MySQL Code works from my local machine, but not on server

    Hi there!
    I've been struggling with this problem for a while.
    I have a database from which I need to read and display some data on a browser. (The database is set up for remote access).
    I'm using the following JSP/JDBC code to do that.
    Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
    out.println("<BR> Connecting to DB...Pls. Wait <BR>");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("url","user","pwd");
    if(con.isClosed())
    out.println("<BR><BR><BR>" +"Could NOT connect to MySQL Database...");
    else out.println("<BR> CONNECTED !!! <BR>");
    Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
    results = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM TableName" );
    When I run this of my local machine, it works fine. But when I upload it to a server, it doesn't run through. I dont get either the connected or not connected message.
    I tried this piece of code that I found online to check the driver.
    /*Driver d = (Driver)Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
    out.println("<BR>Got a driver instance. ");
    if (d.acceptsURL(url)) out.println("<BR>The driver does accept my URL");
    else out.println("<BR>The driver doesn't like the URL I'm trying"); */
    I ran it off the server and it worked. I got the outputs --Got a driver instance and The driver does accept my URL
    I'm unable to figure out why this code can be run locally from my machine, but not from a different location. The database is NOT on my machine.
    Any inouts will be really appreciated.
    I'm using an Apache Tomcat container and the database is MySQL.

    Just wanted to mention
    The database is on another (3rd) machine.
    So I have
    1. My local machine
    2. Database hosted on a 2nd machine
    3. Place I'm moving my code to (its basically a hosting account provided by an external company)
    I can access the database from my local machine. However, when I move the code over to another machine, it doesn't work.

  • Labview ignores all but 1 Daq Assistant, how can I avoid this?

    When I am putting together my block diagram, I use the DAQ Assistant to orchestrate everything.  Then when I go to create another DAQ Assistant instance, LabVIEW seems to ignore the first one.  It appears as though I can only use one DAQ Assistant at a time in my VIs, is this the case?  I am a bit of a novice, is there an easy way to avoid this, or change the orginal DAQ Assistant into some other form so I can use another DAQ Assistant for developing another part of my VI?
    I have looked long and hard for a good explanation of the difference between Tasks and Virtual Channels and while I have found efforts at explaining it, I do not understand.  I see that I can convert my DAQ Assistant into a task, but then I have a task output which does not help me (I need a data output for my VI).
    I am sure this is obvious to someone that has done it a million times, but I just can't find an answer wading through all of the knowledge base information or the LabVIEW help.
    Thanks a bunch!

    Hello milq,
    That following tutorial that Novatron linked you earlier is an awesome resource for becoming familiar with programming with the NI-DAQmx.
    Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and Solve 80% of Data Acquisition Applications
    An important point to take away from this tutorial is that you can either create a DAQmx task using the wizard-style interfaces provided by the DAQ Assistant and within Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), or you can programmatically create and configure your DAQ Task in your LabVIEW code using the DAQmx Create Virtual Channel VI, DAQmx Timing VI, etc.  When you create a new DAQmx Task using the wizard-style interface, you are configuring all of the settings for your task manually.  When you use that DAQmx Task in LabVIEW (with a DAQmx Task Control or Constant), you are referencing all of those configuration options you've manually set.  To actually perform a read or write operation based on those settings, you need to wire the DAQmx Task into the 'task in' input of a DAQmx Read or DAQmx Write VI. 
    So for your analog input operation, you can wire the task directly into a DAQmx Read VI.  In the DAQmx Read VI, you'll want to select the type of task your reading from in the drop down box (Analog), if your reading from a single or multiple channels (1 Chan or N Chan), and if taking just one or multiple measurements with each call to the DAQmx Read VI (1 Samp or N Samp)
    For your digital output operation, you'll want to configure a separate digital output task, and wire it directly to a DAQmx Write VI.  Again, select the type of task your writing to (Digital), if your writing to a single or multiple channels, and if you want to perform a single write or multiple writes.
    To help with getting started with DAQmx programming in LabVIEW, I would highly recommend taking a look at the DAQmx example located in the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help > Find Examples).  A difference you'll note in these examples is that all the task configurations that you have been making with the wizard-style DAQ Assistant are done programmatically with the DAQmx Create Channel and DAQmx Timing VI.  I hope this helps and good luck!

  • ITunes ignores iPad, but not iPhoto

    Hi there.
    I've got a problem. I got an iPad from school for school.
    First we synchronized the iPad with a school computer (Windows), only to install some important things. But now, I wanted to synchronize it with the MacBook (Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.5) but iTunes ignores the iPad, but iPhoto doesn't?! Is it anything to do with the fact that the iPad was previously synchronized with Windows?
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your help!

    Seriously? Nobody knows?

  • My InDesign to PDF script ignores warnings, but I need to change that.

    Hello,
    I have a script here that converts InDesign Docs to PDF files.
    It works fine and was created to make bulk pdf's regardles of missing images.
    Now I want to revise it so that it does stop for missing fonts and images.
    This script also was built for quark and I can see where I could remove the supress all warnings dialog to remove it for the quark part, but I can't figure out where that warning is in the InDesign part to remove it.
    Here is the script: If anyone can help me find out where this line of code is that I could remove, so that the script does stop if there are missing fonts and images, that would be great!!

    Hello,
    OK-I had then blew it... ;-(
    I was playing with a combination of removing (commenting out those two try areas you suggested), and that didn't do it on its own. It didn't do anything, it just said finished.
    Then I found this in the dictionary ( set alert missing images to true) and added it to the script below. See my changes in Bold.
    At one point, I was able to get the missing images dialog box. Then I don't know what happened, I think I tried to turn one of the try areas back on to test it, and then it stopped giving me that dialog box and only the one being asked in that on error errmsg - display dialog "CreateIndesignPDF." & return & errmsg giving up after 20,  was showing up.
    I commented out what I thought I had  changed, but even after compiling and re-saving, I can't seem to get the missing images dialog box to show???
    any thoughts?
    thanks!!!

  • CC app ignores preferences, but...

    Hi @ll,
    I found this problem just when starting to trial some CC products, but I think it would be the same case if I was already signed for them. Here are the details that I think contribute to the problem.
    I am Spanish, living in UK, working with Windows 7 64 in English, my CC account was made from UK, but I changed language preferences to Spanish, and the issue can be reproduced as follows:
    1. In a computer with not adobe products installed, get into your CC account and select one product to trial from CC website.
    2. It first installs CC app and then you change preferences to Spanish and a different folder than default.
    3. Installation process starts, it never asks anything and finally you get that program in English and in the default folder, which obviously was not intended.
    4. Uninstall and clean the computer again with Adobe special tool (AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe) for not leaving any trace of previous Adobe products installations.
    5. Download from a parallel site a multilingual package of the program you are interested. During the installation you can change Language and destination folder and select trial. It will install correctly as per your preferences.
    6. Run the program, it will launch the CC app, now you are offered an update, do it, and voila, it is correctly installed in Spanish and the folder of your choice.
    7. Now you can select a second program to trial in CC app. It will installs too in Spanish and the folder of your choice.
    So in order to get things correctly installed as per your preferences, firstly you must avoid to go into CC web site or CC app as it will do wrong. (????)

    Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
    Diedre please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html which discusses the difficulty which you are currently experiencing.

  • Treat jnlp like jsp in weblogic

    I´m trying to treat a jnlp file like a jsp in oracle weblogic. I did this in tomcat, it´s so easy, i need only put a servlet-mapping like that in my web.xml:
    <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>*.jnlp</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    But in weblogic it don´t works. First, he force me remove this servlet-mapping because he don´t have the same servlet that tomcat and i don´t have a servlet named jsp in my web xml. I wana know if exists any other way to configure my web.xml to treat my jnlp files like a jsp files.
    Thanks a lot.

  • JNLP, JSP, Parameters

    Hi I need to start an application with a parameter like username, I know I can pass in the argument by coding it into the JNLP, however, the parameters are not fixed. I tried to incorporate the jnlp statement into the jsp page and input the argument at runtime, but that didn't work. Is there a way to do this ?
    Example :
    http://www.abc.com/webstart.jsp?userid=rak
    & this generates starts webstart with the argument filled up.

    You can do this with either with a jsp, or a servlet that generates the jnlp file on the fly. Many people are doing this with a servlet. The reason the args cannot be passed directly to Java Web Start is that it is implemented as a browser helper application. The jnlp file is downloaded to the client by the browser, then the browser launches javaws with that file as the arg.
