Java Web Start problem

Hi,

I tried to make a link in my web page to run ECG Viewer from PixelMed.
I run them in my local PC with IP of 140.135.100.179. Here is the jnlp
file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- JNLP File for ECGViewer -->
<jnlp
spec="1.5+"
codebase="http://140.135.100.179/dicom"
href="ECGViewer.jnlp">
<information>
<title>ECGViewer</title>
<vendor>PixelMed Publishing</vendor>
<homepage href="javadoc/index.html"/>
<description>ECGViewer Application</description>
<description kind="short">A simple DICOM and SCP ECG viewer.</

<jar href="ecgviewer.exe"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="com.pixelmed.displaywave.ECGViewer"/>
//<application-desc main-class="displaywave.ECGViewer"/>
</jnlp>

The .exe file, the .jnlp file, also files and directory of
com.pixelmed.display.ECGViewer are on their place. But when the link
has been clicked, there is an error occurs :

MissingFieldException[ The following required field is missing from
the launch file: <jnlp>(<application-desc>|<applet-desc>|<installer-
desc>|<component-desc>)]

What should I do to solve this problem ? Thank you for your comments
and helps.

If I were to venture a guess, it would be the "commenting" you're
using. In an XML file you would use <!-- -->, not //

I already fixed my comment tag as suggested.

When I click the link from the browser, there is an error meesage
occurs :

Here is the complete error message:

Sign the resource using a suitable key:

<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/jarsigner.html>
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/keytool.html>

This allows your users to verify that they are using your version and not
some maliciously altered variant.

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jnlp.html for some schemas to validate
JNLP.

I found it helps to do an eyeball line by line compare with the sample
JNLP file shown there and checking out any differences from what you
wrote.

you must sign your jars.

Can I by-pass the sign process ? The signing process of the jar file
gave me headaches.
Can I set the application to allow execution of unsigned jar file ?
How ?

I just want my jnlp file download and run the jar file. I don't need
such complicated way.

If you can, let us know how. We will
raise a security bug with Sun.

Do you run Ant? I have example build
files that sign code, try this one..
<http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#fs>

BTW - I just noticed another thing in the
JNLP that validation would not pick up

<jar href="ecgviewer.exe"/>

Do you really have a raw Windows 'exe'
file as part of the resources for this
app.?

a) That will not work on Linux or Mac.
and should be put in a Win specific
resource section, and..
b) That will not even work on Windows.
You would need to use an installer element /
extension to download the exe and store
it in a known location for future use.

Is that what you are having trouble
signing? (No, it would never work..)

Hi, finally I can sign the jar file using KeyToll UIU. And the jnlp
file works well. Thank you for your suggestions and comments.

It requires zero labour if you do it the way I do. I wrote a stomp
program that generates my ant scripts.

You can use phony certificates to save money. However then Sun alarms
the user and suggests NOT accepting them.

Signing looks like this in ANT

<!-- S I G N -->
<!-- get _your_ password from set jarsignerpassword=sesame -->
<!-- get _your_ code-signing certificate from set
cert=mindprodcert2008dsa -->
<property environment="env" />
<signjar jar="${jar.file}"
alias="${env.cert}" storepass="${env.jarsignerpassword}" />
</target>

It is much less complicated than you think. It takes a lot of reading
to get your head around what is happening, but in the end it is just
an extra line in your ANT script.

That indicates you may be under a delusion that the newsgroups are a
sort of free help desk. It is better to think of them as a place where
people discuss issues tossed into the ring. The purpose is for mutual
education, one upmanship, showing off, entertainment... not just to
rescue the original questioner.

The thread is thus not closed until EVERYONE is finished discussing
the matter.

A better way to say the same thing would be "Thanks for all your
ideas. I have learned enough to solve my immediate problem."

@All

I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding.

In my language, thread closed means "Thanks for all your ideas. I
have learned enough to solve my immediate problem. And the problem has
been solved based on your suggestions. I'm very appreciate. Thank you
very much."

You are surely correct. I know I should should resist such drollery.
Roedy explained it, and Budhi got it.

Budhi is most wise and benificent.

For the benefit of the rest of us..

"Hey, tobleron, you may have 'solved it',
but the rest of us are curious about what
the exact solution was, ..this being a
discussion forum, as opposed to a help desk.

So 'thanks - problem solved' is hardly enough
to satisfy our interest and curiosity. You 'owe'*
us that much"

* No, you don't actually owe anybody anything,
but it will sure help when you ask more
questions..
