Below is the jnlp file and the error I get on launching it. I am not sure what the problem is. All files (.jnlp, .jar, etc) are in the same folder
and the jar file works perfectly fine. Using Apache, Tomcat and XP Pro.

Please help. Thanks.

--- JNLP ---
<jnlp spec="1.0+"
codebase="http://localhost/test/" href="BrowserLauncher.jnlp">

<resources>
<j2se version="1.2+" />
<jar href="BrowserLauncher.jar" />
</resources>
</jnlp>
--- END ---

The JNLP file is actually called "BrowserLauncher.jnlp" (case sensitive!), and you're running your webserver right?

Not because I want to sound smart or anything...
But where do you specify your startup class?

<application-desc main-class="MyStartClass"/>

Maybe you want to do something about permissions

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

And initially add an encoding descriptor..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

That should help you for a start...

PS: off-topic, anybody doing muffins :-)
