JavaTM Web Start 1.4.2 Release Notes |
Documentation Contents |
These release notes include the following sections:
JNLP URLs are now directly openable from the JAWS Application Manager and can
be bookmarked. Moreover, they may be .html or .jnlp
files. (This is RFE 4531885.)
Java Web Start now dynamically imports certificates in much the same way as
browsers do, making use of https much easier for users. (This is
RFE 4696477.)
For more information, see Dynamic
Download of HTTPS Certificates in the Java
Web Start 1.4.2 Developer Guide.
Every time JAWS is run, it automatically detects all "registered" JREs on the computer.
There are two types of JREs recognized by JAWS: registered and unregistered. A registered JRE is one that is recorded in the system or package registry, i.e., the system registry on Windows, the package database on Solaris, and the RPM database on Linux. An unregistered JRE is not recorded in a registry; e.g., a JRE mounted on a network drive in an unregistered JRE. (This is RFE 4474876.)
There is now a combined control panel infrastructure used for the Java deployment products, including Java Plug-in and Java Web Start. If you have taken advantage of knowing certain undocumented information, such as the Java Web Start cache location or the configuration file format and location, you could be affected. (This is RFE 4723794.)
A security audit of Java Web Start has been completed. (This is RFE 4645808.)
Users are now asked if they want a desktop shorcut the first time an application is downloaded and cached. (This is RFE 4737538.)
Java Web Start is now installed via InstallShield 7 as part of the JRE. There is no longer a separate installer for Java Web Start. (This is RFE 4718282.)
