Launching JNLP on a headless UNIX system
843802Feb 18 2002 — edited Mar 2 2003I am installing a middle-ware application and want to use web start. However, on a headless (monitor-less) UNIX machine, there is often no XWindows installed and therefore no browser. I need to be able to run javaws <URL> but without any GUI showing at all (including splash screens). I think that just suppressing the splash by using the unsupported: "javaws.cfg.showSplashScreen false"
in the config file does not solve the display problem. Something is still trying to use X resources and javaws won't run.
Any clues? I really want to use Java Web Start for all of the other machines and don't want to have 2 mechanisms ...one for headless and one for the rest. Thanks!
