Java 7 on 32-bit Windows 7 - Java Webstart - Unable to load resource

Question

Java 7 on 32-bit Windows 7 - Java Webstart - Unable to load resource

I can't launch any java webstart application on a 32-bit Windows 7 system. E.g. ArgoUML - http://argouml-downloads.tigris.org/jws/argouml-latest-stable.jnlp Everything works fine with Java 6, but with Java 7 I get this kind of errors:

Unable to load resource: java.io.IOException: Error writing to server or java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

Java version:
Java Web Start 10.7.2.11
Using JRE version 1.7.0_07-b11 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

Here is the trace log:

Chlorpromazine

Have you tried this: pscode.org/janela or this: pscode.org/jws/version.html – Appraise

If an application requires java 1.6+, can it be launched with java 1.7? – Chlorpromazine

Yes, if I am understanding you correctly. – Appraise

Answer 1

Problem seems to be in Java 7 IPv6 in Windows environment. Solution was adding: <j2se version="1.6.10+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" java-vm-args="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"/>

(I also added manually java.exe and javaws.exe to exception list in Windows Firewall and F-Secure.)
