[QUESTION] jUU embedding

Postby arthadorn » Thu Apr 19, 2007 5:13 am

I haven't played with this yet, but has anyone played with embedding the jUU into a website? Will the script execute embedded like that? Just a thought I had, I'm thinking I could just make a link that users could go to and use the jUU but not have to download it locally. Is this possible?

jUU embedding

Postby lhunath » Thu Apr 19, 2007 5:39 am

All possible and provided for by using WebStart.

Have a look at this:
http://androgynous-guild.com/jUniUploader.jnlp

If you click the link, it will start jUniUploader with the default URL for UniAdmin set to the UniAdmin of Androgynous.

That way, people that start the program for the first time will have all their settings configured fully automatically.

If you download the JNLP file and change this in it:
property name="uniadmin" value="http://androgynous-guild.com/roster/uniadmin/interface.php" />
to reflect your own UniAdmin URL, you can just upload the odified JNLP file to your guild's website and link to that one. It will automatically configure your guildies' jUniUploader from your own UniAdmin.

I hope I understood you correctly when you spoke of "embedding". Just to clearify, Java WebStart is not Java Applets. It's far more advanced than that. As such, the application (jUniUploader) isn't really embedded in the webpage, it's just automatically downloaded and configured by your webpage, and kept up to date whenever your people click the link. No installation or configuration needed, just a click. From that point on, jUniUploader saves its configuration on your guildies' computer for the next time they start jUniUploader.

At the URL I provided in my previous post, it links directly to it.

.. Here's a hint, try rightclicking it and hit "Save target as ..".

Thank you for your work on this - it is really well done, and long awaited!

If I download the .jnlp file and publish it to my webserver, shouldn't the resident version of Java open it with WebStart, or do I have to have JRE installed on my webserver?

JNLP files are not Java applications; they do not require any JVM on your webserver.

When people click it on their webbrowser; the webbrowser downloads the file and then passes it to the user's Java installation (to a program called javaws(.exe/.app/)). So the only requirement is that the user has a Java VM installed (version 1.4+). If the user's JVM is lower than 1.5, it will automatically be updated by WebStart before launching jUniUploader.

Lhunath - I figured as much, but for some reason the file is opening as an xml file and not keying off the installation.

Either your webbrowser has to be configured to see JNLP files as application/x-java-jnlp-file; or you should configure your webserver to send the application/x-java-jnlp-file mimetype for JNLP files.

In apache this is done by adding this line to its configuration:
Code: Select all
AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file .jnlp


Otherwise the webbrowser doesn't know what to do with the file.

if you cant access the config file of the webserver try upload the file to the folder where your jnlp is located and rename it to ".htaccess"

The only error I seem to be encountering is that the JNLP file is not picking up the Roster upload location when accessed. I checked the setup in UniAdmin and the path is correct and enabled, yet the upload location does not appear in the jUniUpload section. Any ideas?

You need to make sure your UniAdmin is up-to-date.

jUniUploader uses features from the latest UniAdmin; if your UniAdmin is out of date jUniUploader will not work well.

Please upgrade your UniAdmin ;)
