Hi Greg, >>in the jnlp file, under resources i could use: >><extension name="pivot" href="http://some.server.com/pivot.jnlp"; /> > > This is a good suggestion. What is the minimum JDK version for this element? > It looks like it might be Java 6. If so, we wouldn't be able to use it yet, > since our baseline is still Java 5. Should be available since Java 5, but i cant' test it because i have no more Java 5 installed. If you have, you can copy the pivot sample jnlp, change the codebase to a local path (like mine to C:/temp , but for this there is a syntax, otherwise Web Start doesn't accept them ...) and try to add the extension element, pointing to the other jnlp file.
Oh, I've just found a document on this, from here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/faq.html Extract: In a JNLP file, you can factor out dependencies on a set of JAR files to another JNLP file using the <extension... > element. Thus, you can achieve the same kind of re-usability and ease of maintenance as you do with the Class-Path entry. This feature is described in the specification. Then, in that page, there is a sample usage, search for this line: <extension name="Java Help" href="help.jnlp"/> >>And the same could be done also adding the new applet param >>"jnlp_href" to refer to a jnlp file, for applet demos ... > > I believe this also requires Java 6 - can you confirm? Yes, but with previous version doesn't (or shouldn't :-) ) give problems because it's an applet parameter that is not read ... Tell me if you need some help. Bye, Sandro
