It looks like we've uncovered a bug in the Sun's webstart servlet. I'll be looking into ways around this. Maybe an upgrade the servlet will fix it. If that doesn't work then if I change the version numbers slightly that might fix it.
It is happening if you have run one of the "old MW" jnlps, and then you run a snapshot jnlp. When you do this you'll get a message from webstart: "Unable to launch Wise 3.0" and if you hit details, you'll see: ---------- An error occurred while launching/running the application. Title: Wise 3.0 Vendor: Created by the TELS Project and Concord Consortium Category: Download Error Missing version field in response from server when accessing resource: (http://tels-develop.soe.berkeley.edu:8080/jnlp/org/concord/modeler/workbench/workbench.jar, 1.3.1-20070615.140039-567) ----------- These "old MW" jnlps reference the "1.3.1" version of MW. While the snapshot jnlps reference a version like: "1.3.1-20070613.230039-562" So if you have run one of the "old MW" jnlps before then you will have the 1.3.1 version in your cache. When your webstart client makes the request for the new snapshot version using a url like this: http://tels-develop.soe.berkeley.edu:8080/jnlp/org/concord/modeler/workbench/workbench.jar?version-id=1.3.1-20070613.230039-562¤t-version-id=1.3.1 You can see what happens if you do that with curl: curl -I "http://tels-develop.soe.berkeley.edu:8080/jnlp/org/concord/modeler/workbench/workbench.jar?version-id=1.3.1-20070613.230039-562¤t-version-id=1.3.1"; The -I tels curl to show the headers of the response. The version-id param tells the servlet which version of the jar you want. The current-version param tells the servlet which version you already have. You should see an error returned: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error If you make the same request without the current version param, it works fine: curl -I "http://tels-develop.soe.berkeley.edu:8080/jnlp/org/concord/modeler/workbench/workbench.jar?version-id=1.3.1-20070613.230039-562"; That request is what would happen if you don't have any workbench.jar in your cache. So there is something broken in the servlet. Scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SAIL-Dev" group.
