Re: itw-settings.exe wont open

Thank you, deleting the jvm-cache folder fixed it.

What exactly did the "javaws.exe -Xclearcache" command clear? I assumed it will get rid of all the cached data.

Re: itw-settings.exe wont open

I tested both with adapted deployment.properties and without any deployment.properties. Both did not open the settings dialog with the same exception, some JSON can't be parsed successfully. Here are the logs for the two test-runs. The earlier log was done with the adapted deployment.properties. In ...

Re: itw-settings.exe wont open

I have the same problem currently, when starting itw-settings.exe, only the splah-screen appears but then nothing happens. I am on a updated Windows 10 with OWS Version 1.7.0. I did try to start as administrator whit the same outcome. This installation was working until the workstation had a power-o...

Re: Problem with paramters in varfile when unattented installation

Although the question is not very clear, I think the problem here is that you try to use properties which are only defined for the file deployment.properties which is used by Oracle. You need to use the properties available for OWS, which can be defined in the .varfile: https://github.com/karakun/Op...

Re: JEMBOSS Bioinformatic Program Failure

I think the only thing you need to do after either installing OWS is to go to this page: http://emboss.sourceforge.net/Jemboss/ Scroll to the bottom and click on one of those "red buttons". These are links to jnlp files. Dependent on your browser you either have to save the .jnlp file and ...

Re: vendor property in j2se tag does not supersede default value

Out of security considerations we decided not to allow '*' in the JNLP file. This explains the behavior. I set '*' in the jnlp which then got superseded by the vendor set as default. If I set a specific vendor in the jnlp, it works as I expected. Maybe you should add this information to the documen...

[SOLVED] vendor property in j2se tag does not supersede default value

When the property ows.jvm.manager.server.allowFromJnlp is set to true, the JVM list from the server given in the j2se tag (with property "href") supersedes the default JVMs server list from the default server (ows.jvm.manager.server.default). -> This allows us to provide a list of JVMs by ...

Re: Some problems with OWS

Perhaps I have expressed myself poorly. My system was downloaded normally by OWS, and created a shortcut on the desktop, and it is this shortcut that I am running. As Stephan Classen noted, once the application is started, OWS does not interfere in any way with your application. But there can be so...

Re: OWS makes https request instead of http (JVM Download Server list and jnlp file)

Thank you for the hint to this setting and its security implications. We have a deployment where the application is locally deployed by OWS in a secured local network. A man in the middle attack is still possible, but the attacker would have to have access to the secured network. I tested the settin...

OWS makes https request instead of http (JVM Download Server list and jnlp file)

The JVM download server is in our case a local server which is reachable over http. When OWS requests the jvms.json file, it does an https request. As the server has no certificate, a "Security Warning" dialog that the HTTPS Certificate cannot be verified is shown. The same is true when re...

Re: Persistent cookies not working

I will for now just create a simple solution so our client is working again with cookies and OWS on Windows. For us a trivial extension of the CookieStore class is sufficient. We are currently not interested in sponsoring such a feature.

Re: Persistent cookies not working

After further research I now understand how it worked with Oracles webstart. They provided an implementation for the cookie store (session and persistent). The persistent store used the same format and place on disc as the IE to store the cookies. As OWS does not seem to provide a cookie store, sett...

Persistent cookies not working

When using OWS 1.1.8 to deploy our application (java 11.0.8), persistent cookies are not being stored or sent when doing an http 1.1 request from our application. With Oracles webstart, cookies have been persisted on disc (eg. on Windows 7 under "C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\C...
