Hello all,
Today I have faced a very annoying problem with the PLASTIC HUB. It doesn't work with the recent Java WebStart from Sun on Linux:
% java -version
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)
% javaws
Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0
Usage: javaws [run-options] <jnlp-file>
javaws [control-options]
I'm trying to start it using Java WebStart for this URL: http://software.astrogrid.org/jnlp/plastic-hub/plastic-hub.jnlp
At first, it keeps silence for some time, trying to download 3.5 Megabytes of something (probably .jar) from 143.210.36.14:80 (even though it is supposed to be cached by JavaWS, and during the first attempt it showed me the progress bar), after that I see the splash screen, then the main window appears for a second, and after that it dies silently, leaving ~/.plastic in my homedir.
If I do not remove ~/.plastic and try again, it behaves correctly, producing an error-message saying that I have to remove this file.
At the same time, if I download
"http://software.astrogrid.org/jnlp/plastic-hub/plastic-hub-2007.1.1-app.jar"
and start it as "java -jar plastic-hub-2007.1.1-app.jar", everything works
correctly - so my guess it is a sort of java security problem. However since
"javaws" doesn't print any debug messages, it is impossible to say what it is
exactly.
Any suggestions?
With best regards,
