Re: Java Webstart Not working in Leopard



Thanks for all the great ideas guys.

Still no luck. I drag the jnlp file directly onto the JWS icon but I still get the same error. That this version of JRE is not locally installed.

As might be expected, that URL works fine for me (Mac Pro c.2007, 10.5.1), as does every other JWS app I've tried (modulo the J2SE6 issue).


Try downloading the JNLP to your disk, and drag-and-drop the file onto the JWS app icon (/Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Web Start.app IIRC), and see if that makes a difference. This test will remove the possibility of the web browser handing the JNLP off to the wrong app.

Do you have a 10.4 partition mounted? In 10.4 there were two JWS apps installed by Apple, /Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Web Start.app (from Java 1.4), and /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE5/ Java Cache Launcher.app (or some such, I do not have a 10.4 system handy to check). 10.5 only has Java Web Start.app. If your web browser has been set to to use the J2SE5 launcher, which does not exist on the Leopard partition, it could be trying to run the app off of a 10.4 partition. I'd expect Safari to get it right, but I'm running Firefox, and had some odd behaviour in this regard when I switched to Leopard (but I had no 10.4 partition mounted, so I got no-such-app errors from Firefox).
