Java web application (jnlp) doesn't work

I want to open a java web application (Mirth Connect) on my Ubuntu machine. So following the tips on this page I installed icedtea:

sudo apt-get install icedtea-netx

and then executed the jnlp file I downloaded:

javaws webstart.jnlp

I then get this screen:

And whichever button I press (Yes, No, close) it constantly reloads this screen and refuses to proceed to the rest of the application.

On my Mac this application works perfectly well.

Does anybody know why this happens on Ubuntu, and how I can get it to work?

If you have openjdk installed, remove it and install the oraclejdk. It worked for me. You can maintain multiple versions of jdk and switch between each and make them active.
