Hi,
On a Windows XP system with JRE5.0 I want to do an offline JWS installation from CD using:
javaws -import D:\hello.jnlp -codebase file://D\:/jws
and variations on the codebase url.
However the codebase specified in the jnlp (like http://www.xyz.com) isn't replaced with the codebase given on the command line and javaws gives 'Unable to import ...'
Hope someone has the answer...
Are you trying with the latest update release of javaws.
There is a bug in earlier updates displaying the wrong codebase in the error message.
In this case, it looks like the codebase given is invalid:
-codebase file://D\:/jws, should be file:/D:/jws or file:///D:/jws
need 1 or 3 backslashes in a URL, and don't escape the colon.

Andy,
Thanks for your reply
You're right.
Actually I tried that too but the reason it didn't work then was that the jnlp file was outside the jws directory!
So now it works, with:
javaws -codebase file:///jws -import jws/hello.jnlp
(also avoiding the use of D:, but that wasn't the problem)
