Installing on a standard Web Server

Top  Previous  Next

To make use of Java Web Start (tm) technology with XBM Remote Console simply follow this step:

configure the Web server so that all files with the .jnlp file extension are set to the application/x-java-jnlp-file MIME type
update the supplied JNLP files (x4j.jnlp, jh.jnlp, freeutils.jnlp, orajdbc.jnlp ) with the correct codebase information
make the application accessible on the Web server by uploading application's JARs, JNLP and GIF files, at the URLs listed in the JNLP file.
Create a link from the Web page to the JNLP file. For example:

<a href="XBM.jnlp">Launch XBM Remote Console</a>

This first step is critical for making sure that a Web browser will launch Java Web Start when downloading the file.

A link to the Java Web Start installer should also be provided on the Web page, so users who do not already have Java Web Start installed can download and install the software.
