Gabriele Kahlout commented on MNBMODULE-115:
--------------------------------------------
I'd not want to await until another problem at a customer machine occurs before
figuring out that resources.jnlp (and all .jnlps) that want to be 1.6+ (and not
only 1.6.0_18+) compliant need to include href to work as specs
guarantee/require. The specs case is strong enough, for me.
Talking of consistency through the IDE (and familiar/expected behavior UI) I'd
provide the no codebase and href option (as is done for java se) and the 1.6+
compliant option.
The no codebase has its uses (ask those that coded it in the javase interface),
and it includes flexibility of moving files while testing.
BTW: many I've met never saw jws run before, and have never updated java (what
is java?).
> Missing href attribute in maven generated jnlps
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNBMODULE-115
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNBMODULE-115
> Project: Maven NetBeans Module Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.4
> Reporter: Gabriele Kahlout
> Assignee: Jesse Glick
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: hrefcomply.diff
>
>
> Creating an jws ant project (even in nb 7) with a codebase (one is given the
> option to exclude the codebase choosing to be 1.6.0_18+ only compatible)
> generates a launch.jnlp file with the href attribute as required by the jnlp
> specification.
> Maven created projects on the other hand include codebase but not the href
> and thus don't comply to the 1.6+ standard they claim in the same jnlp, but
> only to the 1.6.18+ standard, which then doesn't require the codebase
> attribute, which makes the difference of not needing to hard-code the
> location at development time (since the .jnlp is executed from the dir other
> referenced files are).
> Hence It's preferred to correct the version issue, and extend the same
> options to maven users (as is for ant).
> I propose a patch which detects whether the codebase is specified and if so
> includes it along with the href. In case it's not specified it will not
> include the href and will set the java version to 1.6.0_18+.
> This change is best accompanied with building the jnlp/xml dynamically
> (instead of having two file versions for each file, on disk and copy them).
> Should be even faster (in memory). It should also be more type-safe since the
> only place there are unsafe strings used to retrieve values is the pom.
> BTW: even the generated jws for ant is buggy. The j2se remeains set to 1.5+
> although without codebase requires 1.6.0_18+. It probably works for most
> developers when they test it, because they are likely to have 1.6.0_18+
> anyway.
> finally I've attached the diff to the trunk. However the trunk is broken!
> Try it before applying this patch. There's an issue with
> netbeans.jnlp.fixPolicy (both on mac and windows)
