If you have your application packaged in an executable JAR file, you can follow this tutorial to publish it to your Website:

1. Upload HelloJavaWs.jar to your Website at a URL like: http://jar.fyicenter.com/JavaWS/HelloJavaWs.jar.

2. Update the JNLP file, HelloJavaWs.jnlp, with this URL:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Copyright (c) FYIcenter.com -->
<jnlp spec="1.0+">
   <information>
      <title>Hello JavaWS</title>
      <vendor>FYIcenter.com</vendor>
   </information>
   <resources>
      <jar href="http://jar.fyicenter.com/JavaWS/HelloJavaWs.jar" main="true" />
   </resources>
   <application-desc
       name="Hello JavaWS Application"
       main-class="HelloJavaWs">
   </application-desc>
</jnlp>

3. Upload HelloJavaWs.jnlp to your Website at a URL like: http://jar.fyicenter.com/JavaWS/HelloJavaWs.jnlp.

4. Create a Web page and upload load it to http://jar.fyicenter.com/JavaWS/HelloJavaWs.html.

<html>
<body>
<h3>HelloJavaWS Test Page</h3>
<a href="http://jar.fyicenter.com/JavaWS/HelloJavaWs.jnlp"/>Launch HelloJavaWS</a>
</body>
</html>

5. Run a Firefox and open http://jar.fyicenter.com/JavaWS/HelloJavaWs.html. Then click "Launch HelloJavaWS". You will get the "Application Blocked by Java Security" error again, because http://jar.fyicenter.com does not have a server certificate.

See the next tutorial on modifying security settings to run the application on a Web server.
