Question regarding Enterprise Application Clients in NB 6.5

[adamitj]

I'm trying to create a new Enterprise Application Client in NB 6.5 to access some EJB's and WS from other Project.

The core classes to access them are working perfectly, even remotely (this is not the problem).

I have 2 questions about these kind of project:

1) Why Swing Frames cannot be open remotely? I deployed a new EAC into a glassfish v2.1 (name "sgp"). I accessed the link "http://machinename:8080/sgp" from other workstation and the JNLP file is downloaded and executed, but no Frame is opened at all. And the javaws.exe process still running. If I run the Jar from NetBeans (not from JNLP), the Frame opens succesfully.

2) How I change the JNLP information like <title>, <vendor>, <homepage>, <description> ? These fields are available only in the Properties menu of "Java Application" projects, but not for "Enterprise Application Client";

P.S.: I'm using Java 1.6 update 13 and Glassfish v2.1

Youyr problem is that the javaws in update 13 is broken. You need to down
grade to update 11 on the server machine. Versions prior to 11 also have a
problem but a different problem so ensure you use update 11 and it will then
work.

Thanks for your answer, but it's not the problem. After a long, long search over the web I found the solution.

Answer for question #1:
The Enterprise Application Client on Netbeans is able to open Swing forms without problems. The problem was in my Glassfish server configuration.

After hours spent, I had a brilliant idea (!) to watch the Java Web Start console output in my clients. So, there was the error:
