Re: [Wrapper-user] Wrapper and Java Web Start

[Leif M. <lei...@ta...>]

Lars,
We discussed this in our development meeting this morning.  The
Wrapper does not currently support auto upgrades with Web Start.  This
is going to require us to create a new WrapperWebStartApp class to
handle this kind of configuration.  We have been receiving more
requests for this feature lately and have upped it on our TODO list
for a near term release.

Currently, it is necessary to examine the WebStart XML file and
configure the wrapper.conf file manually to launch the configured
application.  This is a lot of work, so we realize the need for a new
helper class to make the configuration and upgrades automatic.

We will keep you posted on the progress.

Cheers,
Leif
