Can't launch WoL client on Mac OS X 10.7.5

[Axphyxiate]

anyone found a fix yet?

I'm unable to get WoL client to work either. I'm on MacOS 10.6.8. I ran the update to make sure I had the latest Java and I still can't run it. This is the output I get:

Under the launch file window:

I also tried running it under VMWare with a fresh install of Java under Windows 7 and I received the same type of error.

Please help, I need to load my logs.

We experienced a failure in one of the servers hosting the client's files, causing people to have issues launching the client. We've temporarily switched to a backup server, which should resolve the issue. Launching the client from the link on the website (not a stored .jnlp file!) should fix your issue for now. Please let us know if the issue persists.

the client still isnt working for me after this fix

Update

I have procured an OS X 10.7.5 Macbook Air from a colleague to test on. Looks like it isn't working there either. Stay tuned!

There we go. The issue is caused by the recent Java 7 update 9 from Oracle. Currently there seem to be two workarounds:

A) Update to the Java 7 update 10 beta developer preview (not recommended, this is a public testing version)

B) Start the application by passing the full launcher URL to Java Web Start.

I have created a small AppleScript based launcher file that should let you use workaround B without much pain. Follow these steps:

1) Download http://static.worldoflogs.com/files/maihem/WOL%20Client%20(AppleScript%20launcher).zip
2) Find the ZIP file named "WOL Client (AppleScript launcher)" in your Download folder using Finder and double-click it to extract.
3) This yields a "WOL Client" item in Finder, move this to a convenient location, e.g. your Desktop.

Now you should be able to double-click the WOL Client icon and that should launch the client, provided that you have Java installed.

Please let us know whether this resolves your issue.

Confirming that this worked for me - thanks!

Cool, thanks for letting us know!

Also confirming it works, thanks Maihem

My pleasure!
