generating the jnlp file on the fly
Hi all,
I have a working jnlp file with an embedded username and password arguments in the application-desc section that launches from my .shtml file (cited below). During development the username and password have been hardcoded into the .jnlp file but I want to be able to have a real user log in to the .shtml page and when they click on the .jnlp link I was hoping it could actually be a Perl/CGI script that would print the .jnlp file with the username and password slipped in. This is my first Web Start deployment and I am not sure it can be done the way I described.
Can the .jnlp link below (Launch MyApp) be changed to a .cgi link that will print the 'contents' of the .jnlp file with the real username and password substituted?
Thanks for your help.
