APPX Desktop Client Launched via Java Web Start
This document will explain how to start the APPX Desktop Client via Java Web Start Technology. |
| | appx.html
The appx.html file exists only to provide someone with a link to click the appx.jnlp file. It is not technically needed because if someone entered the path to the jnlp file the application would launch just the same as if the jnlp file had been clicked from a link in the html file.

> | This is an XML file that defines the environment that the APPX Desktop Client will run it. The file is made up of elements, element values, element stanzas and comments. The file is documented with comments. Let's review a few of the key elements of the appx.jnlp file.
- The Codebase is the location of the appx.jar file.
- The Information section contains the data displayed to the user when the application starts, such as a splash screen image, application icon, and title bar text.
- The Security element grants the APPX Desktop Client required permissions to run properly on the user's desktop.
- The Resource element defines a minimum operating environment for the APPX Desktop Client. Here we've specified a JRE version of 1.6 and we can also load optional files based on the client's operating system and hardware platform.

The appx.html file is the web document that a web browser can view. This document contains a link to a Java Web Start file (appx.jnlp). When this link is clicked, the JRE environment is installed if it doesn't exist on the client desktop, and then the APPX Desktop Client application will load. Subsequent clicks will only download updates. Modify |
