DESCRIPTION

13       javaws  is  an  implementation  of a JNLP  client. It uses a JNLP (Java
14       Network Launch Protocol) file to securely run a remote Java application
15       or  a  Java  applet.  This implementation of javaws is from the IcedTea
16       project and is based on the NetX project.
17
18       A JNLP file is an xml file that describes how to securely run a  remote
19       Java application or a Java applet.

OPTIONS

23       When  specifying  options,  the  name of the jnlp file must be the last
24       argument to javaws - all the options must preceede it.
25
26       The jnlp-file can either be a url or a local path.
27
28       Control Options
29
30       By default javaws will launch the jnlp file specified  on  the  command
31       line. The control options can be used to change this behaviour.
32
33       -about      Shows  a  sample  application  that can be used to test the
34                   basic functionality of this implementation.
35
36       -viewer     Shows the trusted certificate viewer. This allows a user to
37                   list,  examine, remove or export trusted certificates. Note
38                   that this only reflects the certificates trusted by  javaws
39                   and not any other certificates or programs.
40
41
42       Run Options
43
44       In the default mode, the following run-options can be used:
45
46       -basedir dir
47                   Directory  where  the cache and certificates to be used are
48                   stored.
49
50       -arg arg    Adds an application argument before launching.
51
52       -param name=value
53                   Adds an applet parameter before launching.
54
55       -property name=value
56                   Sets a system property before launching.
57
58       -update seconds
59                   Update check if seconds since last checked.
60
61       -license    Display the GPL license and exit.
62
63       -verbose    Enable verbose output. Very useful in debugging.
64
65       -nosecurity Disables the secure runtime environment.
66
67       -noupdate   Disables checking for updates.
68
69       -headless   Disables download window, other UIs.
70
71       -strict     Enables strict checking of JNLP file format. Any deviations
72                   from the JNLP DTD will cause javaws to abort.
73
74       -umask=value
75                   Sets the umask for files created by an application.
76
77       -Xnofork    Do  not  create another JVM, even if the JNLP file asks for
78                   running in a separate JVM. This is useful for debugging.
79
80       -Jjava-option
81                   This passes along java-option to the java  binary  that  is
82                   running  javaws. For example, to make javaws run with a max
83                   heap size of 80m, use -J-Xmx80m.
84
85       -help       Print a help message and exit.
86

BUGS

93       There arent any known bugs. If you come across one, please file it at
94           http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/
95       Please run javaws in verbose mode and include that  output  along  with
96       the jnlp file when filing out the bug report.
