appx.html

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.

Configure your web server's jnlp Mime type settings.

Your webserver needs to support the .jnlp mime type. There are too many web servers and web server version that each configure via different actions, syntax or configuration file location that it is beyond the scope of this document to cover mime type configuration fully. However, this might be enough to get you on the right track if your server is not already configured for jnlp mime type support.

Apache web server Mime type settings

You need to add a mime type entry for jnlp. You can either use the Apache AddType

directive inside the Apache httpd.conf

file or the .htaccess

file, or modify the Apache web server global mime.types file. The location of this mime.types file is specified by the TypesConfig

Apache directive. Apache recommends that you use the AddType

directive.

If you wish to modify the Apache global TypesConfig file and the file exists in /etc/mime.types, then you might try syntax like the following which will grep for the jnlp entry, and if not found will append an entry for jnlp support.
