jnlp / webstart and soap-ui extension

Hi, I've written an simple adapter to allow our mainframe simulator to be started and stopped as an extenson from within Soap-UI, which works well with the standalone version of Soap-UI, but was wondering how (or even if) this can work with the jnlp / webstart mechanism?

Any thoughts?

    Hi!

    hmm.. please check the soapui log tab in soapUI after starting the JNLP version to see which folder it is using to read external libraries, etc. From their you should be able to deduce where to put the listener files.

    Does that work?

    regards!

    Yes it does work, it is looking for ext my Desktop, so I added ./ext and ./actions folders and put the jar and the xml files in those directories, started Soap-UI up and it works just fine.

    The mainframe simulator establishes a socket listener, so the jvm pops up a warning message 'The application has requested permission to establish connectyions to MYMACHINE. Do you want to allow this?' on startup and then 'The application has requested permission to accept connections from xx.xx.xx.xx. Do you want to allow this?'. Not really a problem as I understand that it is running in a secured sandbox, clicking on ok and it works as per the stand-alone version.

    Thanks
