JNLP Root Element
The
jnlp
element is the root element in JNLP files. It can have the following attributes:
•
spec
: Specifies the version.
•
codebase
: Specifies the location of the root of all the relative external resources used in
the JNLP file. An example of a relative external resource is
jnlp/resources.jar
.
Information Element
The
information element
lists all the information needed by the JNLP Client to manage the
launched application regarding the OS and/or the end-user.
Its only attribute,
locale
,specifies the
Locales
(separated by a space) that should be in use on
the client platform in order to consider the data in that information element. If the current
Locale
doesn't match any of the
Locales
specified in this attribute, all the
information
ele-
ment data is ignored.
Locale
definitions and matching are standard Java. For details, have a
look at the Java internationalization trial tutorial at
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/
tutorial/i18n/index.html
.
T
IP
All the data contained in an
information
element without a locale attribute is con-
sidered to be locale-independent. Always put a locale-independent
information
ele-
ment first, in order to supply default values. Then, use locale-specific
information
elements for the various languages supported by the application.
