Use a static JNLP file with Java Web Start for Application clients
Do not use JSP to dynamically generate a JNLP file, otherwise the JNLP jsp page cannot be opened in some IE browsers. To use a static JNLP file, you will need to add the following mime type mapping in the web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee <display-name> WAS Client runtime for Java Web Start </display-name> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html </welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.htm </welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.jsp </welcome-file> <welcome-file>default.html </welcome-file> <welcome-file>default.htm </welcome-file> <welcome-file>default.jsp </welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <mime-mapping> <extension>jnlp </extension> <mime-type>application/x-java-jnlp-file </mime-type> </mime-mapping> </web-app>
