5.3.5 Client Limitations
• The Java Web Start Client may throw exception InvalidClassException.
Java Web Start is a client-side technology that downloads software from the AlliedView NMS Server via
HTTP and executes it on the local (client) host. The AlliedView NMS Java Web Start client makes use of this
technology to keep client software synchronized with the NMS Server software when the NMS is upgraded.
However, the AlliedView NMS Java Web Start Client does not handle the case where the server is down-
graded from a new version to an older version.
For example, if a user has the AlliedView NMS 6.0 server running on a host, and then replaces it with the
AlliedView NMS 5.0, the Java Web Start clients that had downloaded the 6.0 software must remove their cur-
rent Java Web Start Client and download it again from the AlliedView NMS 5.0 Server.
If the AlliedView NMS Web Start client is not re-installed as described above, the UnmarshallException and
InvalidClassException messages will be seen in the Java Web Start console. Re-installing the Java Web Start
Client is described in Section 6.3.2.2.
• A maximum of five users may be logged in on the AlliedView NMS at any given time.
The AlliedView NMS supports a maximum of five simultaneous client sessions. If a user attempts to log in
when five users are already connected, the user’s login attempt will fail with an error message indicating that
the maximum number of client sessions has been reached. The user will be able to log in when one or more of
the current users logs out.
