url parameters in jnlp href attribute
java, java-web-start, jnlp
Solution
I get the same problem today. I didn't find anything on the net, but I tried to replace the '?' with the HTML entity '?' and it works.
Problem
I've been using url parameters to pass arguments to the main-method of the .jar application. After updating to latest jre 7u7 on windows 7, Java-web-start launcher crashes when launching the files. (JNLP download-servlet and jsp-page parses the url-parameters and inputs them in the argument further down) The interesting parts of the jsp ``` <jnlp spec="6.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/" href="myfile.jnlp?username=charles"> ... <application-desc main-class="MyMain"> <argument><%=request.getParameter("username")%></argument> </application-desc> </jnlp> ``` So this might or might not be a bug, Q1: have I been using the href-attribute in a correct way? Q2: Any smart ideas how to get around the problem?
