yes I was practising my java swing! now I got to understand class path as the application can't access the result file in the java packages. The euro tab and thunderball I will do if there is an enough interest in it.

thanks for your help.

Yup, working here!
I'm guessing you're still playing with Swing and getting the Euro and Thunderball tabs working?

The application now launches, so thanks for all who contributed with the htaccess file

Got a bit further, the main class was incorrect ,,, now the web attempts to launch the application... I now get

The following required field is missing from the launch file: <jnlp>

so will take a look at that. Fingers cross once I resolve this it will launch... as always any tips let me know.

Right tried the htaccess file as I made a mistake .. it now has the following

AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file .jnlp
AddType application/x-java-archive .jar
AddType application/x-java-archive-diff .jardiff

Now when I launch the java application the jnlp file just displays rather than launching the application?

I have on index page and it all blank apart from the following

<a href="LottoWeb.jnlp">Launch the lottochecker </a>

www.gethin.ukcool.com

Are you getting that for all pages on your site or just the jnlp file? If it's all files then you'll have to remove the .htaccess changes.
Otherwise it's probably just a permissions problem and you'll need to check that the folder containing the jnlp file is set to 755 and the file itself is set to 644.

The error I am getting is as followed.

ERROR 500, Problem Running a Script...

A scripting/config error prevents the server from showing this page.

What error are you getting?

Thanks for the reponses, Added a .htaccess and amendment to the .jnlp file as suggested. Now get a config/scripting error? Any advice would be most welcome or any suggestion where to read up about the config...

Although we won't support it, you can try adding

AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file    .jnlp
AddType application/x-java-archive-diff .jardiff

to a .htaccess file in the directory you are serving the jnlp file from.

I'd guess its because the server doesnt know what a jnlp file is and so serving it up as plain text.

Hi trying to launch a java application via a jnlp file ... I have upload the jar file, jnlp file and a simple call to the jnlp file from my html page. When I click on the link to launch the java application the jnlp just displays its code! Is there something missing I need to do
