Parameters - From Applet to Web Start

Hello All

I have a working applet that is distributed as a signed JAR. The users add parameter names and values to the html file.

If I want to move this to a Web Start Application (not Applet) what would be the best way to handle these parameters.

Note that the user's do not have the capability to sign jar files, so the parameters cannot be added to a/the signed jar file.

Would putting the parameters in a .txt file on the web server work - could the Web Start application then open this URL and read them in ?

Or is there a better way to do it.

Thanx,

Keith

Hi,

I would either suggest using argument elements or property elements. Note, that if you sign your app, the jnlp will *not* be signed and, therefore, your users can add whatever arguments and properties they feel like. For more info, check out the Unofficical JNLP/Web Start FAQ at http://www.geocities.com/vamp201/jwsfaq.html
