Hello Aum

This would be a good place to start - http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/">http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/</a>.

Java Webstart is typically used when you have a Swing client that you want to use in the client systems. One way of doing that is to use Webstart - You will have the jars on the server and using Webstart, you can download the jars to the client and start the swing application.

Hope you find this answer helpful.

Hi,

Integration builder is a fat client and the required java libraries are downloaded for the same from the server. Downloading of libraries only happen for the first time using the Java Web Start.

Sometimes there can occur problems while downloading theses libraries and error will show up as 'Unable to open Integration Builder'.Following is the checklist when this error occurs.

1. Ensure that the required JDK is being used in the clent system

2. Set the proxies to <b>NONE</b> in the Java Web Start.

Start>Programs>Java Web Start>File>Preferences-->Proxies

Hi

Java Web Start, a new technology to assist the development of client-side Java applications.

It allows applications to be started from the internet using a web browser.

Integration builder is a fat client which is based on Java. Java web start is used to cache the application information for Integration builder for the first time in client machine and for the next access to integration builder it will make it fast.

Check this out it has everything

Java Webstart is an cache applications mainly used to support the fat clients, since our IR and ID arefat clients we need this Webstart to work on these....now in simple word to dfefine fat clients is that you are working on client and data gets updated on server.....so Webstart allows you to download all the jar files required to work from the client at once, so you will notice when you oprn your IR and ID for the first time in the systems it takes time to open reason is it downlaod all the necssary jar files required to work IR and ID from your system.....
