Deploying an app on AIX using java webstart (jnlp)

    Hi All,

    I'm tearing my hair out trying to get an application deployed using Webstart.

    I'm using AIX 6.1 with the latest fix pack 6100-05.

    Installed is /usr/java6_64, Mozilla Firefox(64) 3.5.2 and Mozila 1.7.13.1

    I know the application works because I've made it run on AIX with Eclipse
    Also, if I point my windows browser to my tomcat web server on aix, webstart works perfectly and downloads my client to my windows environment and runs perfectly.
    When I attempt the same url on AIX itself, it does not understand what jnlp is and downloads the file. This is the same for Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox.
    So, I then attempt to run the application directly using javaws StartJNLPApplication.jnlp and I get the following error
    Java Web Start splash screen process exiting ...
    Bad installation: JAVAWS_HOME not set: No such file or directory
    So I then set
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java6_64
    export JAVAWS_HOME=/usr/java6_64/jre/javaws
    And try again. And of course the same message again

    If I can get javaws to work I will be extremely happy. Anyone made this work on AIX 6.1 yet?

    Thanks.
