problem with setting PreferencesFactory

[Aravind Kumar]

Hello all,

I am trying to use the custom PreferncesFactory webclient version of the front end. I did the following
Added this line at the .jnlp file

<property name="java.util.prefs.PreferencesFactory" value="de.coryx.cps.prefs.PreferencesFactory"/>

But i get the following exception when I use java.util.Preferences pref = Preferences.userRoot():


java.lang.InternalError: Can't instantiate Preferences factory java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: de.coryx.cps.prefs.PreferencesFactory

at java.util.prefs.Preferences.<clinit>(Unknown Source)

at de.coryx.apps.docm.client.swing.Main.<init>(Main.java:116)

Could security be an issue?? But i have this also in the .jnlp file:

<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
....

<property name="java.security.manager" value="true"/>


where am i going wrong?

thanx

Hello ppl..

I guess, I found out the reason for this...

http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/faq.html#54

this says Class.forName doesnt find the resource that are specified in the JNLP file..

But java.util.prefs.Preferences use Class.forName to locate the user defined PreferencesFactory class...

Is this a bug?? or any solution out there?
