Thanks Wayne, I think we're heading in the right direction but I need 
some more detail....

I've tried adding all of these entries to the white-list in the Security 
tab of the Java Control Panel:

http://localhost/
https://localhost/
http://127.0.0.1/
https:/127.0.0.1/
file:///C:/Users/rhino_000/Documents/NetBeans/HelloWorld/dist/HelloWorld.html
file:///C:/Users/rhino_000/Documents/NetBeans/HelloWorld/dist/HelloWorld.jnlp

I'm running Windows 8.1. When I double-click on the HelloWorld.jar in 
File Explorer here on the laptop, the application launches just fine. 
When I right-click on the HTML file and open it in Firefox, the Test 
Page for HelloWorld shows a "loading" animation that just keeps spinning 
and spinning and spinning but never gets done.

When I right-click on the JNLP file in File Explorer, I get the Web 
Start "Java ..." splash screen, then I'm back to the error message I 
reported in my initial post in this thread.

Hmm. I just added the following to the white-list:

file://

Now, when I right-click on the JNLP file and choose Open With Java Web 
Start Launcher, it actually launches without the error message! However, 
right-clicking on the HTML file and opening it in Firefox works no 
better than it did before.

Just for the heck of it, I uploaded the whole dist folder to a remote 
server and tried to access the HTML page: I get the same error as I do 
on my local hard drive in File Explorer. When I tried to open the JNLP 
file on the remote server, the browser asked me which application I 
wanted to use and I chose Java Web Start Launcher and got this:

=====================================================================
Application Error
General Exception
Name: helloworld.HelloWorld
ExitException[3]com.sun.deploy.net.FailedDownloadException:
Unable to load resource:
file:/C/Users/RHINO_~1/AppData/Local/Temp/HelloWorld.jar
	at sun.plugin2.applet.JNLP2Manager.downloadResources(Unknown Source)
	at sun.plugin2.applet.JNLP2Manager.prepareLaunchFile(Unknown Source)

	at 
sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown 
Source)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
==========================================================================

Why is it looking for a resource on my hard drive when I'm running it on 
a remote server? How do I fix this?
