I'm having trouble setting up my web server to use jnlp. I use apache and I added the following line to the mime.types file: application/x-java-jnlp-file Then I restarted the server but whenever I try to execute a jnlp file, my browser just displays the contents of the file and it doesn't do anything.
here are the contents of the file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost/myapp/" href="runmyapp.jnlp"> <information> <title>Ronnie's Test Application</title> <vendor>Mauro Inc.</vendor> <homepage href="home.html"/> <description>Load, edit and save any text file quickly and effectively!</description> <description kind="short">My simple booking System</description> <description kind="tooltip">A text Editor</description> <icon href="img/logo.gif"/> <offline-allowed/> </information> <resources> <j2se version="1.3+"/> <jar href="runme.jar"/> </resources> <application-desc main-class="suncertify.MainClass"/> </jnlp>
Can anyone help?

hi Ronnie, we have to set the browser mime type as well so that the brower can launch the jnlp file with jaws.. if u r on Windows/IE then it will accept ur system mime type settings. so basically u go to the Folder Options->View types and add just one more for the .jnlp extension.. if u use Netscape then u've to go "Preferences->Helper applications (or applications in NN4)"... and set the jnlp mime type.. hth, maulin
Actually I already had jnlp listed as a file type but it just started working and I didn't do anything to fix it. Oh well...Thanks dude. I appreciate your help.

The server must associate application/x-java-jnlp-file MIME type for JNLP files, so the line you need to add to the mime.types file is this: application/x-java-jnlp-file JNLP Notice the second part: "JNLP" This way the server will return "application/x-java-jnlp-file" for every jnlp file. HTH
