together jnlp and DLL - I want downloadable dll

Question

I've just created jnlp file. For testing reason, codebase="". in the folder, where jnlp file is, I have also Myjar.jar, and f.dll.

and in JNLP resource

<resources>
    <j2se version="1.6+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
    <jar href="MyJar.jar" main="true" />
</resources>

Everything works!

QUESTION.

if I change codebase, my jar will be downloaded , but, I want dll to be downloaded too, because, Myjar.jar needs it.... how can I do that?.. what do you think?...

Answer 1

You put the dll file in a separate, signed jar file that is shipped along with main application.

Here's another, more specific question, which, however, has a great example of doing what you need: Java Webstart with Tibco Native Libs

Answer 2

Pack up your dll in a signed jar and include this jar into the jnlp-File using the "nativelib"-tag as decribed in the JNLP-syntax documentation.
