JWS Application is not running...

Question

Hello all,
I'm trying to run the following code from Jawa Web Start :
public class StartUp
     public static void main(String [ ] args)
          throws java.io.IOException
          System.out.println("--- STARTING ---");
          Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad");
          System.out.println("--- STARTING AWAS ---");
          Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"c:\\program files\\javasoft\\jre\\1.3.1_17\\bin\\java\" -cp e:\\temp\\awasgui.jar;e:\\temp\\3rdparty.jar;e:\\temp\\wt.jar -Xms64m -Xmx256m -Dwt.server.codebase=http://nsdint01.eu.airbus.corp:1086/WT62AWAS/ -DHTTPClient.HttpURLConnection.AllowUI=true -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=HTTPClient ext.awas.common.Awas > e:\\temp\\log.txt");
          System.out.println("--- DONE STARTING AWAS ---");
When i run that class directly from a command line it opens a Notepad.exe app then my java application launched by the second exec command.
When I run it throw JWS, it opens a notepad and nothing else. Although it does print all 3 traces.
I'm using "all-permissions" for that application to run. Do you have any idea what is going wrong ? Or what could prevent it to run from JWS ??
Thank u in advance for any help.

Answer 1

It's even more odd than what i expected !!
The behaviour described in my first message is the one i get when using JWS version 1.0.1 (quite old)
I tried again with the lastest version :
When running from JWS, the first exec runs a notepad, the second exec seems to work: it opens a new java console, i even get an authentication tool box (displayed by the java prog i'm trying to run) but then nothing... It's just like the new java console is hanged. The normal behaviour after logging would to display the GUI.
Again it works fine if run from outside JWS.
Thank in advance if u got any hints that could help me.
Regards.
