How to start my Java Web Start application offline from desktop link?
739930Aug 10 2009 — edited Aug 10 2009The JNLP of my app states that the app may be started offline. But when I start the app from a desktop link then Java Web Start fails to start the application when the server mentioned in the HTTP address is offline. The desktop link has this format:
"javaws http://myserver/bla.jnlp"
The shortcuts produced by Java Web Start itself has a different way to reference the JNLP file and it works when the server is offline:
javaws.exe -localfile "C:\Documents and Settings\me\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\44\5c737e2c-7c150a68"
Unfortunately our support ppl, myself and the application cant create the latter type of JNLP file reference - its not documented. So how do I launch the app from the desktop when I need to create these links myself in a way that lets the app run offline?
btw im testing this on jdk1.6.0_13
