Dynamicly generate a JNLP file for a Java Web Start application?


I'm writing a servlet to return a JNLP file with several dynamically generated parameters to be passed to a web start program. Right now my code uses a stock template and token replacement, but I have to think there is a way to generate this file programmaticly within a servlet.

Are there any tools available for this?


Solution

  • It's just an XML file, so I'd have thought there are various ways to do this, from your token-replace idea to a full template language like freemarker, or using programmatic DOM generation. It's doesn't seem complex enough to warrant a dedicated API of its own.
