javax.jnlp

[Heinz Elman]

Hi all,
maybe I'm blind but I can't find the a link to download the javax.jnlp.* package. I use jdk1.4 and there is no jnlp-funktionality..or am I wrong?
regards,
Heinz

Here's the link for the package:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/download-jnlp.html
You can also go to this page:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/
...and click on the Developer's Section on the left hand side of the page. You'll find the full specification for JNLP there as well as a developer's guide and package download link.

Hi Michael,
thanks for your reply:-) I had already downloaded this stuff but I didn't know how to compile my Classes. First I tried to put the jnlp.jar File into the jdk-extensions. But that seems not to work ?:-| Now I read that I can compile it with the command:
javac -classpath .;jnlp.jar *.java
that's what I'am trying now.
bye Heinz

Just add the jar files to your classpath. For Windows 95, 98, and ME, modify your Autoexec.bat (under C:\) and for Window 2000, its under Environment in System in the Control Panel.
If you run a Unix based computer like me, modify your user variables. It's in a hidden file in your home directory (mine is called .bashrc).
I've always had better luck including the entire jar file in the classpath (/opt/Java/jre/lib/jnlp.jar or C:\Java\jre\lib\jnlp.jar) than putting it in the /ext folder under /lib.
As long as it's in your classpath, you should have anymore problems during compilation.

It would seem your xml format is incorrect. Your jnlp should match what was posted in the tutorial:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+"
  codebase="file:///c:/jdc/jnlp/"
>
<information>
  <title>Time Check</title>
  <vendor>Java Developer Connection</vendor>

</resources>

</jnlp>

I've only ever ran into that scenario in the following two instances,not to say there aren't more I haven't seen yet .
1) I didn't have the jar with the main class to run listed as the first <jar> element in the resources section.
2) The jar file didn't contain the class to run.

Can you verify both of these items are in place?
