Webstart if your server doesn't support it.

If you’ve tried everything (.htaccess, php trick) and your web server doesn’t support jnlp (like earthlink) you can always do one of two things:

  1. Have them run webstart from the command line and point to your URL:
    javaws http://home.earthlink.net/startit.jnlp

  2. put the above command in a bat file they download and run.

It’s not pretty and not the best, but at least you can webstart your programs even if the web server doesn’t support it directly.
