Without using a Web browser
For Windows users, distribute the JNLP file that was generated
from the Deployment Wizard (for example, myzieweb.jnlp) to your end
users. Once the file is distributed, users can type start myzieweb.jnlp
to
start the Web Start application and begin installing the Z and I Emulator for Web client.
Since the file extension '.jnlp' will be registered to the Web Start
application, the Web Start application will start, read the file,
and download all the appropriate archive files from the Z and I Emulator for Web server
that was specified in the Deployment Wizard-generated JNLP file. The Z and I Emulator for Web Web
Start client will start when the download completes.
If you have not distributed the JNLP file to Windows users or your clients are running platforms other than Windows, users can still download the Web Start client without a Web browser by starting the Java Web Start Application Manager directly and pointing to the JNLP file on the Web server.
- Open the Java Web Start Application Manager by double-clicking
the
javaws.exe
file, typically located in theC:\Program Files\Java Web Start
directory. - Point to the JNLP file on the Web server at
http://ZIEServer/ZIEAlias/myzieweb.jnlp
.
For Linux clients, a user can type /javaws http://ZIEServer/ZIEAlias/myzieweb.jnlp
to
install and run the Z and I Emulator for Web session. A Z and I Emulator for Web icon
appears in the Java Web Start Application Manager. Users can double-click
this icon to launch Z and I Emulator for Web.
