Java Web Start and Multiple Desktop Icons
Although I am a seasoned programmer I am new to Java so please forgive my lack of jargon. I am attempting to deploy my.jar from multiple servers using Java Web Start and a jnlp file. An example of the jnlp file follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="https://111.111.11.11/custom/uploader/" href="MyUploader.jnlp">
<information>
<title>Local Application</title>
<vendor>My Library</vendor>
<description>Uploads documents into the Library</description>
<icon href="images/desktopIcon.gif"/>
<offline-allowed/>
<shortcut online="true"><!--<shortcut online="false">-->
<desktop/>
<menu submenu="MyApp1"/>
</shortcut>
</information>
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
<j2se version="1.4+" initial-heap-size="32m" max-heap-size="256m" java-vm-args=""/>
<jar href="/custom/uploader/lib/my.jar" />
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="BatchUploader.RunAsApplication"/>
</jnlp>
I am trying to install a desktop icon for each server application on my PC but it is not happening.The jar file has the same name on each server and the desktop icon names are different for each server. When I deploy the my.jar on the first server it deploys fine and gives me a desktop icon and everything works the way it is supposed to.When I attempt to deploy my.jar from a second server I receive a Java Web Start message indicating a read is in progress and then an additional message indicating waiting for data. I wait and wait and nothing happens.If I go back and clear cache in the console and temporary internet folders and reboot my machine I can then deploy my.jar on the second server but cannot deploy my.jar from the first server. It appears to me I am only allowed one desktop icon at a time. Has anyone else experienced this problem and were you able to circumvent the problem.?
I am running in the Windows 2000 environment using Internet Explorer 6+, JSE 5.0.
Any input would be appreciated,
Thanks,
