Missing version field in response from server ...

Classic Servoy
1

I want to install SAS on a FreeBSD 4.7 server that has NO GUI (not X not anytihng). The server is locked up in a farm, and is not accessible by any means other than SSH or the similar. In addition, this build of the FreeBSD 4.7 release will not support any version of the JDK greater than 1.3.1 (although according to the docs, that is all the server needs?).

Despite these limitations though, I *have been able to get the server up and running by completing a full install of Servoy on my Mac OS 10.4 box, and uploading the contents of the resulting Servoy directory to the FreeBSD box.

Tomcat fires up and the repository is connected to no problem; I can access the “launch servoy client” page etc. The problem though is getting client to connect.

When I download/run any jnlp files (using either 1.4.x or 1.5 client on PC or MAC) I receive the following error dialog from the Java Web Start client. PLEASE NOTE, the server itself reports NO errors what so ever in any of the logs.

DIALOG

“Unable to launch Servoy client”

When I view details, the following information is available…

FYI, server version/Servoy version [on server] is the 2.2.1 rc 2 (the newest as of today 9/18/2005)

Any ideas here?
