Enabling and Disabling Java Web Start

Java Web Start is enabled for all application clients by default.

The application developer or deployer can specify that Java Web Start is always disabled for an application client by setting the value of the eligible element to false in the sun-application-client.xml file. See the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 Application Deployment Guide.

The Enterprise Server administrator can disable Java Web Start for a previously deployed eligible application client using the asadmin set command.

To disable Java Web Start for all eligible application clients in an application, use the following command:

asadmin set --user adminuser 
domain1.applications.j2ee-application.app-name.java-web-start-enabled="false"

To disable Java Web Start for a stand-alone eligible application client, use the following command:

asadmin set --user adminuser 
domain1.applications.appclient-module.module-name.java-web-start-enabled="false"

Setting java-web-start-enabled="true" re-enables Java Web Start for an eligible application client. For more information about the asadmin set command, see the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1 Reference Manual.
