Thread: JNLP and Applets

So I'm attempting to get an applet to run on a web host using the new(ish) Java Network Launch Protocol thingy, and I have been less than successful.

NOTE: The below information has been modified in the following ways for security reasons:
1. "[host]" indicates the index url for my website
2. "[main]" indicates the main class (using . instead of /)

I am currently getting an exception that reads: "JAR manifest codebase mismatch for http://[host]/testApp/runner.jar"

So, here is where I currently stand with my code:
HTML Page:

<script src="http://www.java.com/js/deployJava.js"></script>
<script> 
	var attributes = {
		code:'[main]',  width:1200, height:675} ; 
	var parameters = {jnlp_href: 'JNLP_Page.jnlp'} ; 
	deployJava.runApplet(attributes, parameters, '1.6'); 
</script>

JNLP Page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://[host]" href="JNLP_Page.jnlp">
    <information>
        <title></title>
        <vendor></vendor>
    </information>
    <resources>
        <!-- Application Resources -->
        <j2se version="1.6+"
            href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" />
        <jar href="runner.jar" main="true" />
 
    </resources>
    <applet-desc 
         name=""
         main-class="[main]"
         width="1200"
         height="675">
     </applet-desc>
     <update check="background"/>
</jnlp>

Jar Manifest:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.6.0_14 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: [main]
Codebase: [host]

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm completely new to JNLP and the new security measures put in place in the recent java update.

--- Update ---

The main-class field in the manifest is using / instead of . btw (I can't seem to load the edit post button to change it)

I'm not totally sure what's going on here, but I got a bunch of promising results for googling "jnlp JAR manifest codebase mismatch for" including this one: https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2552412

Btw, posting text here doesn't really post any security concern. All the information you're hiding (the main class and codebase) are available to anybody who can find the jar or the jnlp file.

As always, if you're having trouble, I suggest putting together an SSCCE that demonstrates exactly what you're doing. It's a bit hard to give you specific help without specific code.

I've looked at that link. The guy says he figured out what was wrong, but doesn't actually say what he did to fix it...

I'll put the main class and codebase back as soon as I can edit the post again (I think my internet connection is just too horrible right now for that operation to succeed).

I'm not sure how I could create an SSCCE for this issue. I've narrowed down the issue as much as I can think of. As far as I know, those three files are the only ones which matter, and I don't think any of that code can be simplified in any way. I don't think any of the java code in the jar file is relevant, it seems to just be some sort of miscommunication between the jar's manifest and the jnlp, but I'm not sure why there is a miscommunication.

The edit button is broken, it's not just you. So is the reply with quote button.

If the first page didn't contain an answer, try the other pages in the google search. It might take some digging.

Without seeing the specifics (preferably as an SSCCE) it's pretty impossible to tell you exactly what's going on other than to point you to that google search.

There are a bunch of jnlp examples on StaticVoidGames since that's what I use to deploy all of the games. Maybe looking at a few of those and comparing them to what you have would help.
