RxNav Frequently Asked Questions

 Lister Hill Center


Why does my browser show an XML-like file when I launch RxNav?

This is most likely happening because your web server is not aware of the proper MIME type for JNLP files. Java Web Start requires only one change to your web server, that is creating an association between the file extension, typically jnlp, and the MIME type, application/x-java-jnlp-file. The steps for doing this vary depending upon the web server you are using.


Can I run RxNav using a proxy server?

Yes. This can be accomplished by activating the Java Control Panel and specifying the proxy server settings. Specifically:

  1. Launch the Java Control Panel (javaws -viewer)
  2. Select Network Settings from the General Tab on the Java Control Panel window. The Network Settings window will be displayed.
  3. Select Use proxy server and enter in the Address and Port values in the Network Settings window.
  4. Select the OK button to exit the Network Settings window.
  5. Select the Apply button in the Java Control Panel to apply these changes.
