Package: sun-java6-bin Version: 6-16-1 Severity: important
Trying to start any java web start app (for example the ones on http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/demos.html ) results in an "Unable to launch the application." error, no matter if it's from the cmd line or iceweasel. But the stack trace is different in each of these cases. This is what I get when starting from iceweasel 3.5.6: Detail message: com.sun.deploy.net.FailedDownloadException: Unable to load resource: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/apps/draw.jnlp at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.actionDownload(DownloadEngine.java:1347) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getCacheEntry(DownloadEngine.java:1487) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getCacheEntry(DownloadEngine.java:1465) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getResourceCacheEntry(DownloadEngine.java:1568) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getResourceCacheEntry(DownloadEngine.java:1496) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getResource(DownloadEngine.java:217) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getResource(DownloadEngine.java:201) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.updateFinalLaunchDesc(Launcher.java:447) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.prepareToLaunch(Launcher.java:232) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.prepareToLaunch(Launcher.java:183) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:104) at com.sun.javaws.Main.launchApp(Main.java:403) at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Main.java:250) at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Main.java:111) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Wrapped exception: java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:333) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:195) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:182) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:366) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:525) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:475) at sun.net.NetworkClient.doConnect(NetworkClient.java:163) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(HttpClient.java:394) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.openServer(HttpClient.java:529) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.<init>(HttpClient.java:233) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(HttpClient.java:306) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.New(HttpClient.java:323) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getNewHttpClient(HttpURLConnection.java:860) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.plainConnect(HttpURLConnection.java:801) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.connect(HttpURLConnection.java:726) at com.sun.deploy.net.BasicHttpRequest.doRequest(BasicHttpRequest.java:185) at com.sun.deploy.net.BasicHttpRequest.doRequest(BasicHttpRequest.java:113) at com.sun.deploy.net.BasicHttpRequest.doGetRequest(BasicHttpRequest.java:78) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.actionDownload(DownloadEngine.java:1159) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getCacheEntry(DownloadEngine.java:1487) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getCacheEntry(DownloadEngine.java:1465) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getResourceCacheEntry(DownloadEngine.java:1568) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getResourceCacheEntry(DownloadEngine.java:1496) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getResource(DownloadEngine.java:217) at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getResource(DownloadEngine.java:201) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.updateFinalLaunchDesc(Launcher.java:447) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.prepareToLaunch(Launcher.java:232) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.prepareToLaunch(Launcher.java:183) at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:104) at com.sun.javaws.Main.launchApp(Main.java:403) at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Main.java:250) at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Main.java:111) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Needless to say, the network is fine and the URL mentioned can be wget'ed reliably.
