Server
The server-side of the JNLP specification describes the protocol involved in sending the requested material to the JNLP Client. The protocol is greatly simplified by relying completely on the HTTP protocol. Basically, the server reacts to GET requests from JNLP Clients.
General Response

| Error Code | Error Description |
|---|---|
| 10 | Resource Not Found(HTTP error 404) |
| 11 | Could Not Locate Requested Version |
| 99 | Unknown Error |

String Response = errorCode + ' ' + errorDescription + "\n";
The returned MIME type is JNLP Error (“
