HOD getHTMLParameter using Java Web Start

We integrate HOD JAVA applet in our user portal and we send parameters using the URL and the getHTMLParameter macro function to send variable data such as user/password to the Host session.

Now, browsers will run JAVA no more and we want to do the same using Java Web Start. We need any method to send variable parameter values to the applet to use them with macros to establish host sessions.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
