In-Depth Information

AUTION
The
vendor
and
title
elements need to be specified in every JNLP file. As a conse-
quence, the
information
element also has to be specified for every JNLP file.
Otherwise, the JNLP Client will produce an error.
The following data can be specified in an
information
element.
• The locale the
information
element refers to
• The application title
• The name of the application's vendor
• The application home page
• The description element, which can consist of three different kinds: one-line, short, or
tooltip
• The application icon
• Whether the application can run in offline mode or not
See Appendix B, “The JNLP Specification,” for all the details.

OTE
Icons, when not specified, are assumed to be 32x32 pixels with a color depth of 8 bits
(256 colors).
Resources
We have discussed the main rules of our game, but we still miss the counters and how they
move. In the JNLP game, pawns are represented by
resources
. As we know, JAR files, native
libraries, and system properties are described within the
resources
element; and are men-
tioned as application extensions (which we introduced in the previous chapter).

Taming Resources Management
Before diving into the JNLP resources sea of details, it could help to see things from a differ-
ent perspective. What is your need?
