Launcher User Experience

Launcher behavior = only Reflection for the Web Launcher

The Launcher option works independently of Oracle’s JRE and the Java plug-in when the Reflection for the Web Launcher is installed on every workstation.

Here’s what the user can expect.

  • The user exerience varies according to the browser being used. Be sure to note the Browser-specific behaviors.

  • When a user authenticates to MSS in the standard user location (http://<server:port>/mss), the links list appears in a framed window (launched via Web Start JNLP). The user can then launch any of their sessions.

  • Alternatively, if a user clicks a session URL (a shortcut), the links list appears in a framed wiindow (launched via Web Start JNLP), and the terminal session opens in a framed window.

  • If JavaScript is not enabled in the user’s browser, the user can click Display Links List to open the links list and their sessions in separate windows.

The Reflection for the Web Launcher enables the browser to be closed after the framed window appears.
