Question

I have installed JWS and just did what was written in the document...but when I clicked on the link on my web page, it would print the information desciption on my .jnlp file. Not even the splash screen will come up, it was like JWS wasn't even there. I am running out of idea, please help.

Answer 1

Hi guys, thanks for your help. I have finally get my application going with JWS. The problem was I forgot to set the MIME Type in the xml file.
Now I have another problem, after I got my application running, I would like to try to get an applet to run. The problem is I always get 2 errors after the splash screen comes up.
1. Unable to load resource: http://corp08/WebStart/WebStart.jar.
I thought there was something wrong with the way I jar the files so I jar it again and get the second error.
2. Could not find main-class com.norwestlabs.WebStart.applet.WebStartApplet in http://corp08/WebStart/WebStart.jar
So of course I jar the files again, then the whole thing goes back to error 1, and then 2, than 1 again...
I have check my jar file, my main file is in the root directory and I have only 1 jar file. I have also check the path in my .jnlp file, they seem to be correct.
Here is my jnlp file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- JNLP File for Java Web Start Demo Demo Application -->
<jnlp
spec="1.0+"
codebase="http://corp08/WebStart"
href="WebStart.jnlp">

</jnlp>
Please help.
