I have created web start app (JNLP and jar file) it's already installed on my PC.

No I need to run this application from the servlet.

1) question. Can I invoke my java web start application from servlet? I need to run this, on my PC, I don't need java applet.

2) I think about "file-extension/mime-type associations". I mean that, for example if header contains x-application/aaa I need my jnlp file to be invoked on my pc.

<association extensions="aaa" mime-type="x-application/aaa"/>

But, Now I'm thinking , how can I call my jnlp?... Browser must find handler of my "xtype opener application", does not it? how can I do that?

If for example there is mime type of PDF, browser opens data with ADOBE READER. If there will be mime type of my application, I need to invoke my jnlp. How can I register my application as an opener application?

I need something like this but in the web.

From the servlet you could use redirect to a place where jnlp can be downloaded from. From there is up to the client's browser and java. – NeplatnyUdaj Nov 20 '13 at 15:10
No, I don't need this. I need to register my own mime type and then call this. – grep Nov 20 '13 at 15:16

Doesn't it have to be registered in the browser/OS? – NeplatnyUdaj Nov 20 '13 at 15:57
I don't know. I think about it... – grep Nov 20 '13 at 16:13
