Hi,
I have JRE 8U121 with the "Enable java content in the browser" checkbox disabled in the Controlpanel/Java.
I use Chrome Version 56.0.2924.76 (no plugins).
I execute the out-of-the-box Java Web Start with this :
http://localhost:9001/forms/frmservlet?config=webstart
or
jnlp://localhost:9001/forms/frmservlet?config=webstart
Chrome ask me to choose a program to execute this url. I choose javaws.exe.
The execution display this alert (I translated in english) :
This application could not be downloaded because Java is deactivated via web. You can activate Java on this system with the Java Control Panel.
I execute the Java Web Start via a command line :
javaws http://localhost:9001/forms/frmservlet?config=webstart
or
javaws jnlp://localhost:9001/forms/frmservlet?config=webstart
The execution display the same alert.
In the Controlpanel/Java I enable the checkbox "Enable java content in the browser".
I execute via Chrome and it runs successfully. I execute via a command line and it runs successfully.
Does the Java Web Start require the Java plugin enabled ?
Thanks a lot.
