problem with tomcat/web start

DESANTIS77

Sorry to bother you with this, but I'm having a problem with web start. I'm
trying to get the Calculator program from chapter 9 of Core Java Volume 1 to
work as a web start application, and I keep getting the error message: No main
class specified for application

I have tomcat up and runnning in the background, and I'm using Netscape as my
browser.

Here is the code Calculator.java

/**
@version 1.31 2002-07-09
@author Cay Horstmann
*/

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Calculator
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
CalculatorFrame frame = new CalculatorFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.show();
}
}

/**
A frame with a calculator panel.
*/
class CalculatorFrame extends JFrame
{
public CalculatorFrame()
{
setTitle("Calculator");

Container contentPane = getContentPane();
CalculatorPanel panel = new CalculatorPanel();
contentPane.add(panel);
pack();
}
}


/**
A panel with calculator buttons and a result display.
*/
class CalculatorPanel extends JPanel
{
public CalculatorPanel()
{
setLayout(new BorderLayout());

result = 0;
lastCommand = "=";
start = true;

// add the display

display = new JLabel("0");
add(display, BorderLayout.NORTH);

ActionListener insert = new InsertAction();
ActionListener command = new CommandAction();

// add the buttons in a 4 x 4 grid

panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 4));

addButton("7", insert);
addButton("8", insert);
addButton("9", insert);
addButton("/", command);

addButton("4", insert);
addButton("5", insert);
addButton("6", insert);
addButton("*", command);

addButton("1", insert);
addButton("2", insert);
addButton("3", insert);
addButton("-", command);

addButton("0", insert);
addButton(".", insert);
addButton("=", command);
addButton("+", command);

add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}

/**
Adds a button to the center panel.
@param label the button label
@param listener the button listener
*/
private void addButton(String label, ActionListener listener)
{
JButton button = new JButton(label);
button.addActionListener(listener);
panel.add(button);
}

/**
This action inserts the button action string to the
end of the display text.
*/
private class InsertAction implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
String input = event.getActionCommand();
if (start)
{
display.setText("");
start = false;
}
display.setText(display.getText() + input);
}
}

/**
This action executes the command that the button
action string denotes.
*/
private class CommandAction implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
{
String command = evt.getActionCommand();

if (start)
{
if (command.equals("-"))
{
display.setText(command);
start = false;
}
else
lastCommand = command;
}
else
{
calculate(Double.parseDouble(display.getText()));
lastCommand = command;
start = true;
}
}
}

/**
Carries out the pending calculation.
@param x the value to be accumulated with the prior result.
*/
public void calculate(double x)
{
if (lastCommand.equals("+")) result += x;
else if (lastCommand.equals("-")) result -= x;
else if (lastCommand.equals("*")) result *= x;
else if (lastCommand.equals("/")) result /= x;
else if (lastCommand.equals("=")) result = x;
display.setText("" + result);
}

private JLabel display;
private JPanel panel;
private double result;
private String lastCommand;
private boolean start;
}


I created the file Calculator.mf with the contents of Main-class: Calculator

I produced the jar file as follows:

jar cvfm Calculator.jar Calculator.mf *.class

I also produced the jnlp file just like it all said on pages 532 and 533.

I places everything in the tomcat examples directory

I think pointed Netscape to http://localhost:8080/examples/Calculator.jnlp

but not luck. Any suggestions you would give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dominick

Calculator.mf must have a line that declares the starting class, the one
with the main(String[] args) method that kicks off your app.

ie:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: full.path.to.ClassWithMain
