IoX / dashboard with Java version >8 (jnlp/web)

[iicdev]

Background:

First:

We have to use Java version >8 at customer installations. We are on Windows 10. Here on test machine:

openjdk 17.0.2 2022-01-18
IBM Semeru Runtime Open Edition 17.0.2.0 (build 17.0.2+8)
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM 17.0.2.0 (build openj9-0.30.0, JRE 17 Windows 10 amd64-64-Bit Compressed References 20220128_95 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)

It doesn't support native jnlp, so we loaded IcedTea and it opens IoX Finder.

Yes we have associations set up:

from ftype:

jnlp="C:\Program Files\IcedTeaWeb\WebStart\bin\javaws.exe" "%1"

JNLPFile="C:\Program Files\IcedTeaWeb\WebStart\bin\javaws.exe" "%1"

from assoc:

.jnlp=JNLPFile

Second:

When IoX Finder first comes up, it finds the eisy and I can click the choice box to get "admin console (LAN)".

I click that & nothing happens.

Note: if I go back & click on the device line in IoX again, I don't get the choice box 

Third:

I got the IP address of the device & open in Chrome.

• <address>:8443/desc displays the XML -- thus IP address is correct & eisy is responding
• <address>:8443/AnythingElse
  • presents login screen, where I enter name/password
  • then it says /AnythingElse page doesn't exist
    • tried /dash,   /home,    /dashboard etc

Our request:

• At least tell us a page on the eisy that gets us into the console in Chrome & will continue to interact for OpenADR setup. We're ok with that.
• Less important: we are assuming that Java >8 works, since we get /desc correctly in a standard browser. Further comment helpful but not necessary.

Thank you.

If nothing happens try deleting the .state files mention in the wiki.

It's possible this will help, but mostly it's been commented that IoX Finder/Admin Console interface is mostly designed for the standard Java JRE downloaded directly from java.com. Running other versions sometimes results in unexpected issues. I do believe you can have multiple installs and can setup .jnlp association with the JRE, but don't have experience with that.

Not sure on this one. Might be best to ask UDI directly through a support ticket.

Thank you, Geddy. Appreciate your input.

Deleting the .state files did not resolve the issue of clicking through from IoX.

I have submitted a ticket, referencing this forum post. I primarily ask just a page name on the device to continue configuring, since we can access it by IP address in Chrome.
