Remedy I followed:

Configured the Web server to use the Java Web Start MIME type by adding Mime entry in mime.types file in conf folder in apache server.

The entry is “application/x-java-jnlp-file jnlp”.

Still I got the same error.


Thanks

Hi,

I've had a problem like this before. Steps that worked for me were:

1. Make that mime type addition and restart webserver
2. Clear file cache in the browser that downloaded the .jnlp file (it will still have a copy with the mine type set as text/html)
3. Try downloading again.

Hope that works for you.

Cheers, Jared.
