It uses a JNLP (Java Network +Launch Protocol) file to securely run a remote Java application or +a Java applet. This implementation of +.B javaws +is from the IcedTea project and is based on the NetX project. +.PP +A JNLP file is an xml file that describes how to securely run a +remote Java application or a Java applet. + +.SH OPTIONS +When specifying options, the name of the jnlp file must be the last +argument to +.B javaws +- all the options must preceede it. +.PP +The jnlp-file can either be a url or a local path. +.PP +.B Control Options +.PP +By default +.B javaws +will launch the jnlp file specified on the command line. The control +options can be used to change this behaviour. +.TP 12 +\-about +Shows a sample application that can be used to test the basic functionality +of this implementation. +.TP +\-viewer +Shows the trusted certificate viewer. This allows a user to list, examine, remove +or export trusted certificates. Note that this only reflects the certificates +trusted by +.B javaws +and not any other certificates or programs. + +.PP +.B Run Options +.PP +In the default mode, the following run-options can be used: +.TP 12 +\-basedir dir +Directory where the cache and certificates to be used are stored. +.TP +\-arg arg +Adds an application argument before launching. +.TP +\-param name=value +Adds an applet parameter before launching. +.TP +\-property name=value +Sets a system property before launching. +.TP +\-update seconds +Update check if seconds since last checked. +.TP +\-license +Display the GPL license and exit. +.TP +\-verbose +Enable verbose output. Very useful in debugging. +.TP +\-nosecurity +Disables the secure runtime environment. +.TP +\-noupdate +Disables checking for updates. +.TP +\-headless +Disables download window, other UIs. +.TP +\-strict +Enables strict checking of JNLP file format. Any deviations from +the JNLP DTD will cause +.B javaws +to abort. +.TP +\-umask=value +Sets the umask for files created by an application. +.TP +\-Xnofork +Do not create another JVM, even if the JNLP file asks for running in +a separate JVM. This is useful for debugging. +.TP +\-Jjava-option +This passes along java-option to the java binary that is running +javaws. For example, to make javaws run with a max heap size +of 80m, use -J-Xmx80m. +.TP +\-help +Print a help message and exit. + +.SH FILES +~/.netxrc specifies the location of the base directory + +.SH BUGS +There arent any known bugs. If you come across one, please file it at + http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/ +.br +Please run javaws in verbose mode and include that output along +with the jnlp file when filing out the bug report. + +.SH AUTHOR +Originally written by Jon.
