If you want to start the Visualizer without changing Java
or other system settings, you can use the direct launch approach.
This approach launches the Visualizer directly from the Java Web Start
executable. You might want to use the direct launch approach if you
have multiple versions of Java installed on your workstation and you
use other Web Start applications besides the Visualizer.
Before you begin
Locate the path to the required Java Web Start executable
file (
javaws) on your workstation.
About this task
You can also create a shortcut on your desktop to the Java
Web Start executable file by selecting the
javaws file
and entering the URL to the Visualizer in the
Target field.
- From your desktop, open a DOS command window.
- On the command line, enter the direct launch command: path_to_Java_installationpath_to_javaws_exe_file>javaws.exe URL for the Visualizer For
example: C:/IBM/Java60/jre/bin>javaws.exe http://localhost:13510/docs/rrmdi.jnlp
Important: Note the space between the Java Web Start executable
file extension and the URL.
Results
The Visualizer successfully opens.
