New issue 303 by bernho...@gmail.com: Java7 on Windows7 does not support
JNLP URLs containing query string
http://code.google.com/p/openwonderland/issues/detail?id=303

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Construct a URL containing a JNLP + a query string, such as
http://owf1.virtualnorthstar.org:8080/wonderland-web-front/app/Wonderland.jnlp?foo=bar
2. Using IE or Firefox on Win7 using Java7, download the document
referenced by the URL to give a JNLP file named Wonderland.jnlp (example
given in attachment).
3. Try executing the file using javaws Wonderland.jnlp

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the JNLP file to be read and executed. Instead it fails silently.

The problem appears to be that the <jnlp> section of the JNLP file contains
an href
to "Wonderland.jnlp?x=0.0&amp;y=1.0250003&amp;z=-4.724328&amp;look=0.0",
which Java7 balks at (it is expecting an href of "Wonderland.jnlp"). This
is inserted into the JNLP file via class JnlpFileHandler, as part of the
JNLP substition mechanism. See [1] for the code, which we don't have.
Apparently, Java6 doesn't have this problem.

Suggested fix? Not really sure, other than getting the JnlpFileHandler
source and hacking it.

This is a showstopper for our project, as we can no longer pass in the
location of cells in the URL for users to jump straight to the cell from a
URL.

Hello,

The problem indeed happens since Java 7u45 in Java 7u40 or below it works
correctly. Maybe when the issue was reported it didn't work. Currently it
stills write the href like in the issue body but works.

Since Java 7u45 it happens due to the mandatory change that every property
to Java WS must begin with jnlp.

Since Java 7u45 it enters in the default location regardless the url
parameters
