Western Directory Coordinators Application
Prerequisite: Download and Install Java
The remote applications listed on this page are invoked via
the Java Network Launching Protocol and require the Sun WebStart
client distributed in the Java Runtime Edition (JRE). The latest
production release of the JRE are available at:
dircoord-plugin2.html
Once the JRE is installed it will be possible to launch remote
web applications from this page. It may be necessary to create an
association in your browser between the jnlp file types linked
below and the Java Web Start application in the JRE. The Web
Start application can be found on a path something like:
C:\Program
Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_04\javaws\javaws.exe
In my browser preferences, the following MIME type value seems
to work well for the .jnlp extensions of the web resources Web
Start reads:
application/x-java-jnlp-file
Available Applications
Click application to launch. If
required it will be downloaded to local cache. Note the first
time launched you will be asked to trust the uwo test signature.
This is required as the application needs rights to connect to
the required remote servers.
