IcedTea-Web 1.8?

[Richard Stollar]

Thanks for the reply. Our JNLP looks like this:

*main.jnlp*

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <jnlp codebase="http://falcon:8888/" href="jnlp/test.jnlp"
    spec="1.0+" version="">
         <information>
             <title>default</title>
             <vendor>default</vendor>
             <description kind="short">default</description>
             <shortcut online="true">
                 <desktop/>
             </shortcut>
         </information>
         <security>
             <all-permissions/>
         </security>
         <update check="always"/>
         <resources>
         ... a bunch of jars ...
         </resources>
         <resources>
             <extension href="jnlp/installer.jnlp" name="Certificate
    Authority Installer">
                 <ext-download download="lazy" ext-part="main"/>
             </extension>
         </resources>
         <application-desc main-class="com.wibble.WSLauncher">
         </application-desc>
    </jnlp>

*installer.jnlp*

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <jnlp codebase="http://falcon:8888/"
    href="http://falcon:8888/test/installer.jnlp" spec="1.0+" version="">
         <information>
             <title>Install Certificate Authority</title>
             <vendor>Me</vendor>
             <description>Installs the certificate authority</description>
             <description kind="tooltip">Install CA</description>
             <description kind="short">Installs the certificate
    authority</description>
             <description kind="one-line">Installs the certificate
    authority</description>
             <offline-allowed/>
         </information>
         <resources>
             <j2se href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"
    version="1.7.0+"/>
             <jar download="lazy" href="test/Installer.jar"
    part="bootstrap"/>
         </resources>
         <security>
             <all-permissions/>
         </security>
         <installer-desc main-class="com.wibble.Installer"/>
         <update check="always" policy="always"/>
    </jnlp>

     If I remove the extension from /main.jnlp/ then the application 
runs up to a point but we receive application errors due to the missing 
certificate (specifically javax.net.ssl.SSLException: 
java.lang.NullPointerException: Code source security was null).

     As an experiment I tried to run the installer.jar and this is where 
I saw the error message:

    Fatal: Unsupported Feature: Installers are not supported. JNLP
    installer files are not yet supported.

     Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
