Not getting application in Java Web Start

Question

Hello Sir,
I wanted to run an application using Java Web Start. So, I created a jnlp file and i have mentioned the necessary jar files and the main class file. when I clicked on the jnlp file, the application is running in the Server using Java Web Start and its shortcuts are creates on the desktop and in the startmenu. I am able to run the application by clicking on the shortcut in the server. But I am unable to Download the application in the Java Web Start. It is not showing any Error Messages and the application is not running in the cleint machines.
The contents of the jnlp file is as follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- JNLP File for SimpleClass Demo Application -->
<jnlp
spec="1.0+"
codebase="http://dev01/Dummy/New"
href="SimpleClass.jnlp">
<information>
<title>SimpleClass Demo Application</title>
<vendor>xxx</vendor>
<!-- <homepage href="docs/help.html"/> -->
<description>SimpleClass Demo </description>
<description kind="short">A demo of Class A and Class B Dependencies in java Web Start.</description>
<!-- <icon href="images/swingset2.jpg"/> -->

<all-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
<j2se version="1.4.0"/>
<jar href="ClassLib.jar"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="A"/>
</jnlp>
So, please Tell me how to solve this problem.

Here is an example of my JNLP file that works.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- JNLP File for the Passport Application -->
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://application:8080/application/" href="passport.jnlp">
  <information>
    <title>Passport</title>
    <vendor>WIM Consulting</vendor>
    <homepage href="http://www.wim.ca"/>
    <description>application Passport.</description>
    <description kind="short">Passport</description>
    <icon href="WIMicon.gif" width="32" height="32"/>
    <icon href="WIMsplash.jpg" kind="splash"/>
    <offline-allowed/>
  </information>
  <security>
    <all-permissions/>
  </security>
  <resources>
    <j2se version="1.4+"/>
    <jar href="passport.jar"/>
    <jar href="jars/kunststoff.jar"/>
    <jar href="jars/ldapsec.jar"/>
    <jar href="jars/localedata.jar"/>
    <jar href="jars/mysql-connector-java-3.0.6-stable-bin.jar"/>
  </resources>
  <application-desc main-class="ca.wim.passport.startup"/>
</jnlp>I am not sure what the problem is.
"I am unable to Download the application in the Java Web Start"
If webstart in not actually downloading the jar - is the jar in the correct location?
Is the server named dev01 and the directory structure actually /Dummy/New?
Note: you do need to set up the mine type JNLP on your server,
In my case the location of the JNLP file and main jar file passport is in the following directory.
c:\Inetpub\WIMRoot\application
The additional jars are in
c:\Inetpub\WIMRoot\application
I hope this may give you some clue
