Configuring Web Start shortcuts

Java Web Start properties allow you to configure the application to launch from a desktop shortcut or a Start Menu shortcut. Note that configuring shortcuts is optional, it is not required.

Perform the following steps:

On the station’s WebServices Property Sheet view, expand the Web Start Config slot and click on the dropdown list to enable the following shortcut properties:
- Create Start Menu Shortcut
- Create Desktop Shortcut
If desired, click in the text field for the Shortcut Folder Name property to modify the default text for the shortcut. This step is optional.
NOTE: For security reasons, this property supports only a few of the BFormat options:
- %server% - the host name or IP address of the station. This is the URL used to get the JNLP file.
- %station% - the station name.
- %app% - the application name. This value is from the webstart.title property in the brand.properties file or if not specified there, it defaults to the value configured for the Web Start Config App Title property.
- %vendor% - the vendor name. This value is from the webstart.vendor property in the brand.properties file or if not specified there, it is the license brand by default.
