Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

I am accessing the jnlp as an applet through a jsf page running on Weblogic server. The jnlp, jar and jspx page are all in the same directory. When I run the app, and view it in a browser, I get the following exception in java console:

I can directly download the jar file from the url listed in the error. The jnlp file I use is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</jnlp>

I tried compressing jar but that didn't make any difference. I am behind a proxy but playing around with all the java network settings was of no use as well.

Any pointers as to what could be the issue?
