You dont need the browser the java virtual machine is taken from webstart. That means no more questions "if i close the browser window the application also closes, i don't want that change it change it change it!!!!"
That is always the case if you use seperateFrame = True

Is there any way to close the Jnlp Webstart window automatically when we close the application using Exit_Form. 0  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

Hi We are planning to convert 6i(Used as Client Server) to Oracle 10g.
What will be our biggest challenge.

remove/rewrite functions that were using client-side programs that works in a different way, timers, reading from registry, user-acceptance... webforms is a much slower... 1  out of 5 found this valuable. Do you?

Hi nisk,

the only way i know of doing this is to create a JavaBean and put it into your form.
In the "destroy" methode of the Bean you just call "System.exit(0);" and and the webstart window will be closed.
(Since the JavaBean will automatically be destroyed when you close the form you get this for free!).

If needed i can send you the sourcecode for a javabean that i found on the oracle-forums and am enhancing myself.

Only problem i am still struggling with is that the forms-applicaiton completely closes without asking when i click the close-button of the webstart-window! Any idea how to solve this?
