You are executing the linux javaws here. Perhaps you meant to try the 
native one instead?

The script that executes javaws requires a simple patch to execute 
correctly:

--- /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/javaws/javaws.orig    Sat Feb  5 12:15:25 2005
+++ /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/javaws/javaws    Sat Feb  5 12:26:37 2005

 while [ -L "$PRG" ]; do
     ls=`/bin/ls -ld "$PRG"`
-    link=`/usr/bin/expr "$ls" : '.*-> \(.*\)$'`
-    if /usr/bin/expr "$link" : '/' > /dev/null; then
+    link=`/bin/expr "$ls" : '.*-> \(.*\)$'`
+    if /bin/expr "$link" : '\/' > /dev/null; then
        prg="$link"
     else
        prg="`/usr/bin/dirname $PRG`/$link"


Apply this patch to the native javaws script(see path) and it will work. 
Please email me with any questions.
