What Is Java Web Start

Java Web Start allows users to launch Java applications from a web page without additional installation, utilizing a JNLP file for downloading and running applications. Users will need Java 8 Update 151 or higher to use PRISM, which will now run Java applets outside of the browser, supporting multiple browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari. Specific instructions for launching applications in different browsers are provided, with a note that Mac OS will continue to use the Java Plug-In.

Java Web Start for PRISM

What is Java Web Start?

Java Web Start provides a browser-independent architecture for deploying Java 2


technology-based applications to the client desktop. With Java Web Start, users can
launch a Java application by clicking a link in a web page. The link points to a Java
Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) file, which instructs Java Web Start software to
download, cache, and run the application. This way, users can download and launch
applications without going through additional installation procedures.

When using Java Web Start, Java applications are still launched from the browser, but
now all Java applets in Oracle E-Business Suite will run outside of the web browser.
Thus allowing users a great choice of browsers for accessing PRISM. Please see the
System Requirements guide for detailed information on supported browsers.

Will I still need Java for PRISM?

Yes, you will still need to install Java 8 Update 151 or higher on your desktop.

How will using PRISM change with the New Java Web Start?

When you log into PRISM and open any java based forms, such as General Ledger
(GL), PCard (PC) or reports submission, you will be prompted to use the Java Network
Launch file - frmservlet.jnlp. This will allow the use of multiple browsers such as
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Safari. Please see the System
Requirements guide for detailed information on supported browsers.
Chrome: A download message will appear for the frmservlet.jnlp file, click Keep. Then
click the arrow next to the file and select Open to launch the application.
Firefox: The frmservlet.jnlp will open, select Do this automatically for files like this
from now on and then click OK.
Edge: A download message will appear for the frmservlet.jnlp file, click Open.
Safari: Click the use Java button and allow safari to use Java from the PRISM servers
(select Use Every Time). ** Mac OS will continue to use the Java Plug-In instead of
Java Web Start and thus a Mac OS can only run PRISM with Safari.
All Browsers: The first time you open PRISM after the Java Web Start is enabled, “Do
you want to run this application” message will appear, select Do not show this again for
Apps from the publisher and location above, then click Run.
