Using JNLP to load a Java Plugin FrameWork based Applications.

[Madhur Shrma]

I have a simple application which pull up with different number JPF plugins along with it. I could pull them up easily as normal desktop application but can't with webstart.

Is there a possibility please guide me.

Start by investigating the causes of the error. "Can't" isn't specific enough for anybody to do anything with. Find stack traces or describe other symptoms of the problem.

I checked out the Boot class in jpf-boot.jar and found that it expects 'boot.properties' file in the application's root folder. I can specify the properties in JNLP file but i can't specify the property file path in it.

props = new ExtendedProperties(System.getProperties());
InputStream strm = new FileInputStream("boot.properties");
props.load(strm);
strm.close();


Below are the exception details.
