gives you the power to
launch the Java client for
Daffodil with a single click from your Web
browser via Java Web Start.
You can download and
launch the application without going through complicated
installation procedures.
First you need to install a
complete Java 6 Standard Edition , which includes the
needed runtime software and Java Web Start. Java Web Start
includes the security features of the Java 2 platform, so
the integrity of your data and files is never
compromised. And no matter which method you use to launch
the application, the most current version of the
application is always presented to you -- with any
Browser. You launch applications simply by clicking on a
Web page link. If the application is not present on your
computer, Java Web Start automatically downloads all
necessary files. It then caches the files on your computer
so the application is always ready to be relaunched
anytime you want -- either from an icon on your desktop or
from the browser link.
Because Java Web Start runs
independently of any browser, you can shut down your
browser or surf to another Web page and continue using
your application. Applications deployed with Java Web
Start do not require a browser interface to operate. To
save time later, you can relaunch your desired application
anytime from the desktop icon, without powering up your
browser again.
