JNLP as a Applet in HTML page


I'm trying to run my JNLP within an HTML page, but the java plugin does not run the JNLP, runs only the Applet.

Here is my code:

<applet width="800" height="500" codebase="http://127.0.0.1:8888/applets/"
    code="br.com.app.server.utils.CompatibilityApplet"
    archive="CompatibilityApplet.jar">
            <param name="jnlp_ref" value="http://127.0.0.1:8888/applets/testehellojws.jnlp">
</applet>

Thanks.

[EDIT]

An example:

http://java.sun.com/javase/ja/6/ea/6u10/plugin2/jnlp/CompatibilityApplet.java

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp spec="6.0+" codebase="http://127.0.0.1:8888/applets/" href="testehellojws.jnlp">
    <information>
        <title>App Hello</title>
        <vendor>My App Jnlp.</vendor>
        <homepage href="http://127.0.0.1:8888/Home.html"/>
        <description>My App Jnlp</description>
        <description kind="short">Appr</description>
        <icon href="images/icone.jpg"/>
    </information>
    <resources>
        <j2se version="1.6+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
        <jar href="hello.jar" main="true"/>
    </resources>
    <application-desc main-class="br.com.app.server.HelloJWS"></application-desc>
</jnlp>

Please edit your question and just let me know it is edited.

OK

Did you miss the part about the documentBase?

I didn't.

I would recommend removing the space in the applet name attribute.

Done

Can you run any other JNLP embedded applets? E.G. the small (sand-boxed) GIFanim applet at my site?

Yes

What info. do you get reported from here?

java.vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
java.version: 1.6.0_26
os.name: Windows 7
os.version: 6.1


Solution

  • Checking on a related post, I decided to test the tag

    <OBJECT>
    

    . I thought that this would not work with JNLP, so we had tested before. After changing

    <APPLET> 
    

    to

    <OBJECT> 
    

    and referencing my jnlp file as a parameter, it worked! The browser ignores the code and archive parameters and run my JNLP.

    thanks.
