Java server VM availability and Webstart

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

Recently, I was told told that a webstart applciation doesn’t work because the -server flag was passed as jvm-arg and no server vm is available. (Btw. the jnlp file required a Java 5 JRE).

On the other hand, after the slow startup, I got 400 FPS instead of 300 FPS with the server vm. Therfore I was wondering, if it is possible to tell a webstart application, to use the server vm only, if it is available?

Best regards,
Michael

Afaik there isnt a switch like that, but its certainly some desirable feature… something like a -tryserver switch would be pretty neat indeed.
