JNLP

Example

Cyberspace can be configured as a virtual reality browser for static 3D scenes or as a 3D user interface for multiplayer online games, depending on the deployment descriptor arguments specified in the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) file. The following is an example:

   <application-desc main-class="com.whoola.game.cyber.CyberMain">
     <argument>
       sceneUrl=examples/swim/scene.dae
     </argument>
     <argument>
       servlet=http://earth.whoola.com:8080/relay/servlet
     </argument>
     <argument>
       service=com.whoola.game.swim
     </argument>
     <argument>
       provider=demo
     </argument>
   </application-desc>

None

When no arguments are provided to deployment descriptor, Cyberspace will launch by showing the built-in default scene. It will then search for and, if found, load a COLLADA file called .whoola/cyber/scene.dae in the user's home directory. The following is an example path to a scene file in a user's home directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\Croft\.whoola\cyber\scene.dae

sceneURL

When the "sceneUrl" argument is specified in the deployment descpriptor, Cyberspace will attempt to download and display the scene file from the given URL.

servlet

When the "servlet" argument is specified in the deployment descriptor, Cyberspace will attempt to connect to the message relay servlet at the given URL and monitor state update events.

servlet

When the "servlet" argument is specified in the deployment descriptor, Cyberspace will attempt to connect to the message relay servlet at the given URL and monitor state update events. Depending on the events received, this might include replacing the current scene.

service

When the "service" argument is specified in the deployment descriptor along with the "servlet" argument, Cyberspace will restrict its requests for state update events to those related to a particular service such as a simulation by a given name.

provider

When the "provider" argument is specified in the deployment descriptor along with the "servlet" argument, Cyberspace will restrict its requests for state update events to those generated by a particular provider.
