Problems with Java Web Start 1.5
Hello,
I'm having a bit of a problem which i don't know how to approach concerning Java Web Start 1.5. My company has a web application running under Tomcat and a DB2 database. This application has a few "standalone" sections which are downloaded via JNLP and launched via Java Web Start.
Here's my problem: one of these applications uses more then one JDBC driver for database interaction, therefore i needed them in a predictible location on the hard disk. The solution i adopted was to exclude the drivers from the JARs that were downloaded via JNLP and to download them directly from the application in the "user.home" directory, then initialize them. Thing is that, for some reason, when using Java Web Start 1.5 the connection will return an SQLException when initialized (when it runs the DriverManager.getConnection() function). After a bit of searching through the logs i have found that the exception originates at the exception below:
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][JDBC Driver] CLI0616E Error opening socket. SQLSTATE=08S01
When i run it under Java Web Start 1.6 it works perfectly, but i have to get this working on 1.5 as well. Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
