Run Deployed JAR Files From Web Start Application

[jonkri]

Hello people!

I would like to like to be able to use Runtime.exec to start a Java application using the JAR files deployed with Java Web Start. As I have understood it, they are not automatically accessible in the local directory. I basically want to do:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(javaCommand + " -Djava.library.path=. -jar " + jar);

(For those of you wondering why I would do something like this is that I want to fetch standard output, standard error, and information about JVM crashes from a specific launcher since I'm doing a lot of native calls in my application and I need the feedback.)

Thanks!

Ur query reminds me of a similar situation I was in while deploying a java application (JAR file). But recently I used an open source search platform Solr (LucidWorks for Solr Certified Distribution Reference Guide | Enterprise Search support for Apache Lucene and Solr by Lucid Imagination ) where deployment issues were totally taken care of .

I have read a bit about Solr but I have failed to see how that solves my problem.

I wonder... Solr seems to be be free and open source software, so I don't see much point advertising it. I searched the reference documentation for JNLP and Web Start but didn't get a single hit. I guess there could be some functionality with the "sandboxed" filesystem but I don't know. We'll see if he can elaborate.

Well, they did something similar in another just recently.
