Parameters added to the jnlp file after 63. FP03

Customer previous to 6.3 Fp03 had the following lines in the .../cw/tep.jnlp file on the TEPS server.

 
<property name="cnp.navigator.branch.pagesize" value="-1"/>
<property name="cnp.navigator.branch.threshold" value="-1"/>


This was to stop the pop-up about navigator item limitation from being produced when starting the webstart client.

In case you are not aware this happens when expanding a navigator item that contains more than 25 items,
a pop-up message appears which states "the navigator item you are expanding contains N subitems.
You may limit the number of subitems displayed
" (where N is some integer).

The pop-up always has to be clicked on.
The above values stop the item from being displayed no matter the value (the value can be set to any number).
However it should be noted that the amount of time required to expand Navigator branches increases proportionally with larger values.



However after upgrading to 6.3 FP03 these lines did not stop the pop-up from being produced, it was still seen.


This is because as of 6.3 FP03 ANY parameters added to the jnlp file must be prefixed with "jnlp".

The parameters now have to be input as:
 
 <property name="jnlp.cnp.navigator.branch.pagesize" value="-1"/>
 <property name="jnlp.cnp.navigator.branch.threshold" value="-1"/>

 
Once the lines were added in this format and the webstart client was tried again, the pop-up was no longer seen.
