7a666199-44c1-4c1c-83f0-a2fc8b9d66a2

Hello everyone, has anyone been able to run IBM Client Access Solutions via Java Web Start?

The documentation says it's possible but doesn't explain how, instead it gives a link to see a tutorial over at Oracle, so here's what i did:

Associated .jnlp with its correct MIME at my webserver (IIS 6, win server 2003 r2)

Created a folder on my webserver and put acsbundle.jar

Created emulator.jnlp at the same folder with the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase=
"https://www.mywebsite.com/emulator/"
     href="emulator.jnlp">
     <information>
         <title>IBM Client Access Solutions</title>
         <vendor>IBM</vendor>
         <homepage href="https://www.mywebsite.com/emulator/" />
         <description>IBM Client Access Solutions</description>
     </information>
     <security>
         <all-permissions/>
     </security>
     <resources>
         <!-- Application Resources -->
         <j2se version="1.7+"
               href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
         <jar href="acsbundle.jar" />
     </resources>
     <application-desc
          name="IBM Client Access Solutions"
          main-class=
            "com.ibm.iaccess.launch.AcsLaunchPad"
          width="300"
          height="300">
      </application-desc>
      <update check="background"/>
</jnlp>                        

Had to authorize my url in java security in control panel, since i use java 1.7

I am getting this error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

if i remove the security tag from the jnlp, then the error i get is that it cannot find the main class:

com.ibm.iaccess.launch.AcsLaunchPad

I would appreciate any help
