I just noticed that as a result of using URLs to connect to Servoy solutions, in my Safari “Downloads” directory there is a 2KB file for every time I connect … even for multiple sessions with the same solution.
Is there any way to avoid littering the end-user’s Downloads directory this way? (Especially since the average end-user leaves their download directory set to the default: their desktop.
These files are named servoy_client.jnlp, servoy_client-1.jnlp, servoy_client-2.jnlp, etc.
jcompagner:
Are you constantly opening it throught the browser?
Why not set one servoy_client.jnlp on youre desktop and when you want to start click on that one?
Well, on my machine I could. But on a real end-user’s machine in a zero-deployment environment, how would I get the .jnlp file onto their desktop?
HJK:
The second time you start a solution, the java webstart automaticly aske you, if you want a shortcut on your desktop!
OK, I’ll keep that in mind. That has not happened for me when opening the SAN application. Thanks!
My experience is that this doesn’t work on a Mac (getting a question from Java Webstart), but still puts another servoy_client.jnlp (incremented with one) in the download-folder.
on the mac, there’s an option - i think it’s in java web start preferences -
that allows you to specify if/when to ask the user if a startup application
should be generated.
