You might need to configure your web server to handle Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) files. If the web server is not set up properly, the Java Web Start application will not launch when you click on the link to the JNLP file.
Configure the web server so that files with the .jnlp
extension are
set to the application/x-java-jnlp-file
MIME type.
The specific steps to set up the JNLP MIME type will vary depending on the
web server. As an example, to configure an Apache web server, you should add the
following line to the mime.types
file.
application/x-java-jnlp-file JNLP
For other web servers, check the documentation for instructions on setting MIME types.
