Launching Jalview via JNLP

Dear list,

Our platform (https://www.genoscope.cns.fr/agc/microscope/home/index.php) uses JNLP to launch Jalview.

We have realized yesterday that it doesn't work anymore (we don't know since when it has been the case). The JNLP error is:

#### Java Web Start Error:
#### JAR resources in JNLP file are not signed by same certificate

If I'm correct, we can't do anything on our side: it's up to you to sign all the JAR files with the same certificate. Is it right ?

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu

Hi Mathieu,

Please could you try the steps described at

http://www.jalview.org/faq#jar

(if you haven’t already done so), and let us know if that resolves the problems.

Best regards,

Mungo

Hi Mathieu.

Just as a follow on from Mungo’s email - we recommend that web applications use our launchApp servlet at www.jalview.org/services/launchApp, which always offers the latest version of the JNLP file.

Our platform 
([https://www.genoscope.cns.fr/agc/microscope/home/index.php](https://www.genoscope.cns.fr/agc/microscope/home/index.php)) uses JNLP 
to launch Jalview.

I’ve also added MicroScope to our ‘Links’ section of our Jalview community pages (http://www.jalview.org/community/links - should appear there shortly).

Hi Jim and Mongo,

Thank you very much for your help. I was able to generate a correct JNLP file.

We generate the JNLP file ourselves because we pass a parameter to JalView (-open URL). I'm not sure if we can do that with the launchApp servlet.

And thanks for mentioning MicroScope on your site. Of course, we mention JalView in our doc but we should probably give it more credits. I will think about that, too.

Mathieu

Hi Mathieu

file.

very welcome :slight_smile:

JalView (-open URL). I'm not sure if we can do that with the launchApp 
servlet.

That’s actually the reason we set up the service:

http://www.jalview.org/services/launchApp?open=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jalview.org%2Fexamples%2Funiref50.fa&annotations=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jalview.org%2Fexamples%2Funiref50.score_ascii&treeFile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jalview.org%2Fexamples%2Fferredoxin.nw

Documentation for supported parameters is given as a comment in the JNLP file:
