Java, does anyone manage to get this working?

[Sheridan]

For my sins I need to deploy java across a limited (100 or so) PCs to allow use of camera.

 

What an utter pain in the ass this is turning out to be!

 

I've created a deployment.config file, which is copied to the user\appdata\locallow\java\deployment folder and contains:

 

deployment.system.config=\\networkpath\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=false

 

So that should point to the network copy of the properties file, which contains:

 

deployment.user.security.exception.sites=\\networkpath\exception.sites

 

This in turn points to a text file listing sites that we want java to run on in the simple format:

 

Http://192.168.150.1 
Http://192.168.150.2
etc

 

Everybody has access to these files, but the damn thing still pops up with the 'Application blocked by security settings' for the very site that is listed in the exceptions file!

 

Is java now just a broken pointless POS, or am I doing something wrong here?

We do a system deployment.properties files. So in c:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment there is: This is pushed out through GPP. Java being java we decided to do it on the local PC. Looks like you are missing the file\: in the deployment.config.

I did check that, but according to Sun you only put the file:/ part in when referencing a local path?

 

I'll give it a try though, won't do any harm!
