Java Web Start provides a platform-independent, secure, and robust deployment technology. It enables developers to deploy full-featured applications to end-users by making the applications available on a standard web server. With any web browser, end-users can launch the applications and be confident they always have the most-recent version.

Java Web Start is an application-deployment technology that gives you the power to launch full-featured applications with a single click from your Web browser. You can now download and launch applications, such as a complete spreadsheet program or an Internet chat client, without going through complicated installation procedures.

Java Web Start includes the security features of the Java 2 platform, so the integrity of your data and files is never compromised. In addition, Java Web Start technology enables you to use the latest Java 2 technology with any browser.

With Java Web Start, you launch applications simply by clicking on a Web page link. If the application is not present on your computer, Java Web Start automatically downloads all necessary files. It then caches the files on your computer so the application is always ready to be relaunched anytime you want—either from an icon on your desktop or from the browser link. And no matter which method you use to launch the application, the most current version of the application is always presented to you.

HI,,

Well Java Web Start:-

A mechanism from Sun for delivering full-blown Java applications from a Web server.

The programs are initially downloaded using the browser, but run outside of the browser. Contrast with Java applets, which require an open browser window to stay active.

Running on top of the Java 2 platform, Java Web Start caches the programs locally and automatically downloads updates on startup.

The Java apps are packaged for deployment using the Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP), which uses a descriptor file for defining the startup procedure.

Java Web Start is a framework developed by Sun Microsystems which allows application software for the Java Platform to be started directly from the Internet using a web browser.

Using Java Web Start technology, standalone Java software applications can be deployed with a single click over the network. Java Web Start ensures the most current version of the application will be deployed, as well as the correct version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

Java Web Start is a framework developed by Sun Microsystems which allows application software for the Java Platform to be started directly from the Internet using a web browser. Unlike Java applets, Web Start applications do not run inside the browser, and the sandbox in which they run does not have to be as restricted, although this can be configured. One chief advantage of Web Start over applets is that they overcome many compatibility problems with browsers' Java plugins and different JVM versions. On the other hand, Web Start programs cannot communicate with the browser as easily as applets. To assist migration, a Java Applet can also be used as a Java Web Start application.

hi rocky The Java Web Start software allows you to download and run Java applications from the web. The Java Web Start software:
Provides an easy, one-click activation of applications
Guarantees that you are always running the latest version of the application
Eliminates complicated installation or upgrade procedures


Getting Java Web Start Software

Java Web Start is included in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) as a part of the JRE 5.0. This means that when you install the JRE, you get Java Web Start installed automatically.

The Java Web Start software is launched automatically, when a Java application using Java Web Start technology is downloaded for the first time. The Java Web Start software caches (stores) the entire application locally on your computer. Thus, any subsequent launches are almost instantaneous as all the required resources are already available locally.

Every time you start the application, the Java WebStart software component checks the application's website to see if a new version is available, and if so, automatically downloads and launches it.
