How to embed JNLP file into HTML page ?

[L Ng]

Hi All,

is it possible to embed jnlp or jar file in to HTML page? The reason is I want to open a .jnlp app on web browser instead of web start. Does anyone know how to make it work?

Many thanks!

You want to launch a jar directly, without webstart?
You could do that with a href="xxx.jar"

For that to work, your user would need to have the jar extension
configured to invoke java.exe -jar %1

More likely it would be configured to just download.

You can execute it as an applet with the <applet tag.

But for JNLP, it makes no sense to do anything with it but execute
javaw.exe
