Abstract
Java Webstart can fail after 6.30.7 with an Java exception
Body
ITM 6.30.07 and using the ORACLE SUN JRE 1.8 it could happen, that the JAVA Webstart (JWS) is failing with an exception like:
JNLParseException[ Could not parse launch file. Error at line 36.]
at com.sun.javaws.jnl.XMLFormat.parse(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.javaws.jnl.LaunchDescFactory.buildDescriptor(Unknown Source)
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 36; columnNumber: 40; The string "--" is not permitted within comments.
at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.fatalError(Unknown Source)

To make the JWS working again you need to modify the tep.jnlpt and tep.jnlp on the TEPS server.
Windows:
- modify the c:\IBM\ITM\Config\tep.jnlpt (set the changes permanently)
- modify the c:\IBM\ITM\CNB\tep.jnlp (set the changes temporary if a TEPS reconfiguration is not possible but will lost at the
next TEPS reconfiguration)
UNIX:
- modify the /opt/IBM/ITM/config/tep.jnlpt (set the changes permanently)
- modify the /opt/IBM/ITM/<interpreter>/cw/tep.jnlp (set the changes temporary if a TEPS reconfiguration is not possible but will lost at the
next TEPS reconfiguration)

- now clear the Java cache of your JWS and restart the JWS. The JWS should come up now and working as expected.
! The modification of the <homepage> tag has nothing to do with this exception, but is a typo in the tep.jnlp(t) and is addressed in APAR IV92369 !

! The wrong "------" i have seen mostly on Windows 6.30.7 envirornments, so it seems only related to a tep.jnlp(t) on Windows Tivoli Enterprise Servers !
