Read attributes passed with href tag in JNLP

I am passing dynamic values with href tag in dynamically generated jnlp using jsp.

<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://10.40.42.134:8080/TestJNLP/" href="test.jnlp?arg1=<%=request.getParameter("arg1")%>&arg2=<%=request.getParameter("arg2")%>">

AFAIK when user will download and run this JNLP it will hit the server based on codebase and href attributes and for getting JNLP and jar but how to read arg1 and arg2 in JNLP present on my server.

What should argument tags of my JNLP (which is present on the server) look like whether they should be of format <argument>"$$arg1"</argument> or of the form <argument><%=request.getParameter("arg1")%></argument> or some other format.

Can some please help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • On further exploring the options I found that dynamic JNLP can be made using JSP which in turn can have request.getParameter(arg)

    JSP structure would look like

    <argument><%=request.getParameter("arg1")%></argument>

    and response type as application/x-java-jnlp-file
