I just found out that javaws -wait doesn't do what is supposed to do on Windows. It will return before the aplication finishes. This bug is more than 5 years old and closed as won't fix 6281477, so we need a workaround. I looking for a clean solution that will: run unattended (no user intervention): currently if JNLP file is not acc...
I'm looking for possible ways to start a JNLP application from the command line unattended (no user intervention being required). This means that you will not get things like popup windows telling Unable to launch application if the JNLP file does not exists. ...

When I'm starting rich client application with JNLP it does some requests to remote servers. Some of this requests are intended to check if the servers available or not.

I'm trying to create a jnlp that all it does is launch another. I'd like to do that because the other is bound to changes (names of the resources) for example, while I'd like the one calling it to never change. Has anyone ever did the same? Is it possible? Which of the two jnlps should be the installer-desc? ...

I have a Java application that I'm about to begin to use Web Start to deploy. But a new demand has made me rethink this, as I'm now required to add a piece of functionality that allows the end user to select whether or not they'd like to run this program on startup (of Windows, not cross-platform). But I'd still like to shy away from mak...
The problem is that my JNLP file works locally on my 64-bit machine (running on my own machine), and locally and remotely on my 32-bit machine - but not remotely on the 64-bit machine (you see the Java 6... message for a looong time, and then it just terminates!). Any suggestions about how to trouble-shoot this? Should I specify differ...
