The JDK contains a sample/jnlp directory that includes
five samples:
Each is briefly described below. For more information, see the
README files for each in the samples/jnlp
directory in the SDK.
This sample demonstrates how to use CORBA within Java Web Start. It shows how a simple Java program using CORBA can be packaged, downloaded, and executed as a JNLP application by Java Web Start. RMI-IIOP utilizes the Java CORBA Object Request Broker (ORB) and IIOP. This lets you can write all your code in Java and use the rmic compiler to generate the code necessary for connecting your applications via the Internet InterORB Protocol (IIOP) to other applications written in any CORBA-compliant language. Please note that this sample doesn't use any of the JNLP APIs.
This example shows how to build a Java Web Start JRE auto-download installer.
This sample demonstrates features of the
JNLPRandomAccessFile API. The file, which the user
picks, is opened as a random file for both writing and reading. The
application first writes some hard-coded strings to the file
selected by the user. It then reads whatever was written to the
file and displays it on to the screen using the awt
Container and TextArea components.
Java Web Start includes a servlet in the
sample/jnlp/servlet directory that can be used to
package a JNLP file and its associated resources in a Web Archive
(.war) file. The purpose of the servlet is to provide
a simple and convenient packaging format for JNLP applications, so
they can be easily deployed in a Web Container, such as Tomcat or a
J2EE-compliant Application Server.
This simple word-processing application allows users to Create,
Open, Modify, Save, and Print files. Webpad application extensively
uses the following JNLP APIs to access local resources even when
running in the untrusted execution environment:
FileOpenService, FileContent,
FileSaveService, ClipboardService,
PrintService, DownloadService,
BasicService, and
PersistenceService.
