Maybe these could help with your configuration problem:

On OS X 10.3.8  I cannot configure Jave Web Start like under WIN and
OS/2. Especially I need  to tell Java Web Start which browser should
be used (i. e. error message from the java app: "no browser
configured").
Is there any config-file (like javaws.cfg under other operating
systems) where it is possible to add the missing parameters?

Apple does this a little differently. The Mac JWS implementation
uses the system default browser. Older versions of OS X had this
defined by a System Preference panel, but Panther (any some
Jaguar releases too, IIRC) moved it into Safari's preferences.

Yes, to make Firefox your default browser you use Safari's prefs!
WTHWTT!

Thanks, Doug.
I know, that Mac JWS uses the system prefs. But our application service provider uses two different proxies: one for our internet access and another (different address and different port) for providing the java applications via JWS. Therefore I have to configure the OS X system (system prefs) for the second proxy (so that JWS will run) and to use Firefox instead of Safari as browser. In Firefox I can configure a proxy (in difference to the system prefs) for the internet access. Some java apps run fine, but one (important) application run into an error ("no browser configured"). Under Windows I' ve tested, that this app uses the browser, which is configured in javaws.cfg.
Any idea, how I can "tell to jws" the browser tu use?
