Jim, Mungo,

We generate the JNLP file ourselves because we pass a parameter to
JalView (-open URL). I'm not sure if we can do that with the launchApp
servlet.
That's actually the reason we set up the service:

http://www.jalview.org/services/launchApp?open=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jalview.org%2Fexamples%2Funiref50.fa&annotations=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jalview.org%2Fexamples%2Funiref50.score_ascii&treeFile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jalview.org%2Fexamples%2Fferredoxin.nw

Documentation for supported parameters is given as a comment in the JNLP file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!--
Jalview Launch Desktop service
If you have downloaded this file after pressing "Launch Full Application" from Jalview on a web page and you don't know what to do with this file, you must install Java from http://www.java.sun.com then try opening this file again.

    JNLP generated by /jalviewServlet/services/launchApp
    JNLP generated from http://www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp
Available servlet parameters (please URLEncode):
    open=<alignment file URL>
    version=<Valid Jalview Version string> (default is latest patched release, other available versions are 'stable', 'release', 'next', 'test', 'develop')
    jvm-max-heap=heap size in M or G
    features maps to    '-features'
    treeFile maps to    '-tree'
    tree maps to    '-tree'
    annotations maps to    '-annotations'
    colour maps to    '-colour'

Thanks for the explanation. We will probably use the launch service in the next version as it's very convenient and simple to use.


If there's anything else you'd like to be able to do with this then do let us know. As you might be aware, Java Webstart is not going to be widely available on many systems in the future and we are exploring ways to replace the web launch functionality.

As for the future of JNLP, if I'm correct, it will disappear soon so I guess the only option is JS.
