Java Web Start and Cookies

843802Jul 22 2002 — edited Apr 1 2008

Hello All,

We have the following scenario

1) A user logs in to our website. The session information for the logged in user is maintained in the cookie.
2) The User clicks the jnlp link to invoke the applet.
3) The Java Web Start gets activiated and it tries to dowload the JNLP file.
4) The Web start is not able to download the file since it cannot send the required cookie to the webserver and the webserver is denying the access.

Is it possible to pass the existing session information (The session information is stored in cookie) from the browser to the java web start, so that the java webstart will pass the cookies for each subsequent access.

Thanks and Regards
Jagadeesh
