Java Deployment with JNLP and WebStart Mauro Marinilli
Publisher: Sams

I have downloaded the source code of Kettle 4.1.0 and I'm trying to use the Java Web Start. This one-click deployment solution for Java applications on the desktop leverages the Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) API. Anyone who has deployed any large application using Java Web Start 1.5 or 1.6 over a slow WAN or through some kind of SSL proxy has noticed the extreme number of connections that can be initiated during application startup. Java Deployment takes a very practical approach to the topic of deploying Java applications. Java Web Start provides the power to launch full-featured Java applications with a single click. Launching via Java Web Start can be easily done by placing a link to a .jnlp file inside a Web page or even creating an icon on a desktop. Java Deployment with JNLP and WebStart. Installing Java 7 on my shiny new MacBook Pro with Retina display made all Java Web Start programs look absolutely crap by doing some not-too-fancy scaling on the graphics. Multiple internet resources told me to . The JNLP file is generated on-the-fly and downloaded to the client-machine where it uses a Cookie and the Session ID of the already-running session to re-connect to the already-running JBoss deployment. The last couple of days I went through a little nightmare: I needed to debug a Java application which showed some weird behaviour only when loaded via WebStart, but not when executed within Eclipse.
