Web Start JNLP not working

probably security related, web start runs with a security manager. You'll need to enable the web start console to see the errors (or catch them and popup a JOPtionPane)
You can enable the console from the web start application or via the control panel (i think).

or try running it from the command line with a security manager enabled.

To display the console, run the Java Web Start application. Under File->Preferences, go to the Advanced Tab and select "Show Java Console".
Theres also an option to log to file

This is the error messages generated, not to sure how to resolve, thanks

as I suspected its a security exception, your oracle driver is trying to read a properties file.
Signing the jars will fix that problem

It's trying to read a property to which it doesn't have access. You could avoid signing by avoiding that particular property if possible

That is where I am stuck I have signed all the jars I created plus the oracle jar (ojdbc14.jar) since these are all those that I have been using, so not too sure which other jar I should be signing

Thanks

If you want to sign, sign every jar that's used

have you granted aall permissions in your jnlp?

<security><all-permissions/></security>

Make sure the security element is set in the JNLP

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jws/developersguide/syntax.html#security

Seems like I always get this error message when I try to sign this jar file

F:\java\CVART_PROJECT\CVART>jarsigner f:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\ojdbc14.
jar ATIC
Enter Passphrase for keystore:
jarsigner: attempt to rename f:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\ojdbc14.jar to f:
\Oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\ojdbc14.jar.orig failed

Try not to have other Java environments running when you're signing jars - there can be file-locking issues

well I think I have done all of what you said in terms of secuirty and signing and making a copy of the oracle driver jar file and still get the same error.  Would sending you my jnlp file help the situation or any other file?

Thanks

You can paste your jnlp here

You need to make sure all jars are cleared out of cache, of course

BTW where/ how do I clear jar from cache?
thanks

Thanks much for your help. you showed me how to view errors when using jnlp and much more about signing jars.

cheers
