My applet is launched using a JNLP file (by specifying the jnlp_href
parameter in deployJava.js) and this is working very nicely on most browsers
on Windows but when I tried it on Linux (Ubuntu 9.10 and Firefox 3.5.7) it
doesn't launch with the error being that it was unable to find the applet
class (ClassNotFoundException).

So, does launching an applet (yes, applet) using JNLP work at all on Linux?
In all cases I am using Java 6 Update 18.

There is absolutely no point in us continuing development of this applet if
we are unable to launch it via JNLP on all platforms so the answer to this
question is critical.

Do you have a zip archive with a build file (&
source and JNLP file) that I can download to
test locally?

If you are running 64 bit Linux, you will need to install both 32- bit
and 64-bit Java. JNLP uses 32-bit, to match the power of the browser.

Try using The Replicator at
http://mindprod.com/webstart/replicator.html

I have not had any complaints from Linux users.

Let's see your JNLP file. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jnlp.html

I have written some schemas to check them out for syntax errors.

Imagine an architect who would never admit to making sketches, blueprints or erecting scaffolds. In his view, the finished building speaks for itself. How could a young architect learn from such a man? Mathematicians traditionally refuse ever to disclose the intuitions that lead them to a conjecture, or the empirical tests to see if it were likely true, or the initial proofs. They are like chefs who refuse to disclose their recipes, ingredients or techniques.

Unfortunately Andrew I am not permitted to release any part of the project.
At this stage I am just looking to know if this has any chance of working or
whether JNLP launched applets simply don't work on Linux. If you or others
are able to get it to work with other applets then at lease I know there is
something wrong with what I am doing.

I am using just 32-bit at this stage.

This is not an applet (something that runs inside the browser).

As I said to Andrew, I am not permitted to show you any part of the project
unfortunately.

Yes, thanks I have used your excellent references and the JNLP in question
checks out fine.
