Web Start Settings

The Web Start Settings window launches when you click Cache/Web Start Options on the Additional Options window. This window contains the following three tabs:

Web Start Options

Code base:
Code base is a required field. If you already specified a code base on the Additional Options window, the Code base field on the Web Start Options tab will be prefilled with that value. If there is no value specified for the code base, and you cancel out of the Web Start Settings window, the Client type will be reset to Cached client.

The URL that you specify here must identify the Host On-Demand publish directory, for example, http://server_name.mycompany.com/hodalias, where server_name.mycompany.com is the name of the server on which Host On-Demand is installed, and hodalias is the Host On-Demand publish alias.

If you are using the Host On-Demand Java Web Start client and load balancing between multiple HTTP servers that download Host On-Demand, then the code base is the URL of the load balancing computer.

If you installed the Deployment Wizard separately from the Host On-Demand server, then the Code base field will be prefilled with the Host On-Demand server location that you configured during installation. This URL must contain the full absolute path to the Host On-Demand install base; you cannot use a relative URL as the code base.

Document base:
If you use a separate user publish directory to separate files you generate through the Deployment Wizard from files provided by Host On-Demand, you must also specify the document base when configuring a Web Start client. The document base must be a fully-qualified URL that points to the Deployment Wizard file on your Web server. For example, if you name your output file HTMLfile on the final window of the Deployment Wizard, specify the following document base: http://server_name.mycompany.com/your_dwpublish_dir/HTMLfile.html, where server_name.mycompany.com is the name of the server on which Host On-Demand is installed, and your_dwpublish_dir is the directory where you publish your HTML files generated by the Deployment Wizard. This URL must contain the full absolute path to the Host On-Demand install base; you cannot use a relative URL as the document base.

If you do not use a separate user publish directory, do not specify a document base. The default is the URL you specify for the code base.

Description:
Type a short description for this application (optional). The description allows you to distinguish between different pages in the Web Start Application Manager. The default is Host On-Demand.
