Hi, Richard Osbaldeston has updated the Web Start Services pack. Richard writes in his blog:
I've just finished uploading Beta 4 of the Web Start services pack - which is mostly a bug fix exercise, with thanks to Kolja Kleist for all the helpful feedback, and making the changes to get the installers working on both Windows and Linux. It'll even install runtimes under 1.4.2 (which is something the Sun installers can't at the moment - well not without jws hanging & needing manual reboot, been waiting weeks for feedback on getting my bugreport on that issue being accepted). Couple of things have changed, renamed the download directories in the example site; to make things clearer (ie after coming back to the code some months later it confused even me) also the servlet mappings have changed ever so slightly, for the same reasons. Also the JREInstaller & RuntimeInstaller should now work on Linux (JREInstaller defiantly should), and I've made some more experimental modifications to the .exe installer part of RuntimeInstaller, under jws 1.4.2 it should make use of JNI calls to find the runtime location (although under 142 this might be academic as it tends to reboot on install and also can update itself when it finds new runtimes). Oh, and finally I added a few bits to the test page, mostly a jsp version of the autodl ping script that can tell you which runtimes are currently on offer on the default Sun Web Start servers.
