Oxygen XML Author
provides the tools to create your own JWS distribution that can be
installed on a custom web server. Advantages of a JWS distribution include:
-
Oxygen XML Author
is run locally, not inside a web browser, overcoming many of the
browser compatibility problems common to applets;
-
JWS ensures that the most current version of the application will be
deployed, as well as the correct version of JRE;
-
applications launched with Java Web Start are cached locally. Thus, an
already downloaded application is launched on par with a traditionally
installed application;
-
you can preconfigure
Oxygen XML Author
and the rest of your team will use the same preferences and
frameworks.
Note: A code signing certificate is needed to sign the JWS distribution. The following
procedure assumes that you already have such a certificate (for example Thawte™, or Verisign™, just to name a
few).
