Description Felix Seeger 2005-07-14 10:51:15 UTC

Version:           3.4.2 (using KDE 3.4.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.5 20050613 (prerelease) (Debian 3.4.4-4)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.7

Since my last update (stable branch) I cannot open JNLP Files with konqueror.

If go to such an url, I get the save/open dialog, I choose "open with" and than select the program to open it:  /usr/java1.4/jre/javaws/javaws

It just doesn't work, if I select open in console and don't close them, nothing happens. The only output I get in xsession-errors is this:

kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype application/x-java-jnlp-file not found

JNLP Files are XML Files which Java Web Start needs.

Comment 1 Felix Seeger 2005-07-14 11:10:14 UTC

Some infos
- I can open the file with the "open with" dialog with "kwrite".
- I am also unable to use the "open in console and don't close it" feature with kwrite, so maybe this is just another bug, and because of it I cannot debug the jnlp problem.
- I removed all symbolic links from the path of javaws, doesn't help
- javaws is a shell script, if I run the shell script from console with just the url behind it, everything works fine.

Comment 2 Felix Seeger 2005-07-15 19:06:15 UTC

I am not sure if the choosen component is correct. The bug is about opening an xml file with a applikation out of konqueror. The applikation is a script which starts java web start. Also it is about the run dialog not supporting the "open in konsole and don't close console" feature.

Comment 3 Koos Vriezen 2005-07-25 23:45:55 UTC

Indeed this bug is more general than just java. Changing to general component

at least "open in console and don't close it" with kwrite works for me at 3.5.9 and svn trunk r808533 (qt4.4 final).

Comment 5 David Faure 2008-10-17 19:54:33 UTC

The mimetype application/x-java-jnlp-file exists in kde4 (shared-mime-info), at least. I guess what's missing is just a .desktop file for javaws then --> reassigning to kappfinder. I don't think we can get whoever provides javaws to make a desktop for it? That would be the best solution though.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug.
