For a very long time, using the Java 6 WebStart, I have
pulled down the standard jnlp and substituted a number of
command line args, and properties to run the JForex platform
under the Java Server VM.
By the way, this is Java 7 Update 45 32-bit, running on a
Windows 64 system. This is because I occasionally use a DLL
and so it needs to be 32-bit compatible. There is no other
Java runtime installed on the system.
For my own software, I have given up using Java Web Start
because of its new security requirements, and "feature bloat".
Instead, for my own purposes, I use the "getdown" facility
which replaces the key features which I need to deploy and
to update my own applications. In fact, I may give a try at
writing a "getdown" specification to run JForex which would
allow me perhaps to "freeze" a version.... But that is off-topic.
The point of this post is that using Java 7 Update 45, it seems
that I can no longer get the JForex platform to pick up my
"-server" directive, or even my heap size specifications.
I really want to run it under the Server VM because of some
heavy backtesting, so I want the higher performance.
When I run a local strategy and fetch Java System properties
within the IStrategy onStart, I see that it is running the Client VM.
try {
String vmname = System.getProperty("java.vm.name");
String vmversion = System.getProperty("java.version");
log("Java VM is: "+vmname+" "+vmversion);
}
catch(Exception e) {
log("Could not read System properties...");
}
SO MY QUESTION IS: Does this look like a Java Web Start
issue, which is what I believe ?
Here is the launch specification I have used in the past, and
it no longer appears to work. If you use a Java Console, and
then after initial launch, dump system properties "s", then
I see that it is using the Client VM, and also JForex "Show
Java Memory Heap" indicates that it doesn't pick up my
heap specifications either. I think I can rewrite the heap
specs, but all the other "high performance" switches are
not going to be used by the Client VM which defeats the
whole purpose.

but how do I specify the Server VM to this Java 7 Web Start jnlp ??
Clearly it is ignoring my "-server" arg.
I understand that these Java Web Start versions consider some args,
etc., to be UNSAFE and so they are ignored. This is all part of their
"security mania" which is too much for me personally.....
Here's the output of my Java Console including System and Deployment
