Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition)

How Does Solaris Web Start Work?

Solaris Web Start lets you choose the product box software you want to install on your machine and creates a profile that reflects your software selections (or the default selections).

Solaris Web Start uses the Solaris JumpStartTM utility to read the profile automatically, thus installing the Solaris software and the other selected software products with minimal intervention.
