Web start on os X : Cannot open associated file.

With "Java Web Start", I can associate a custom file type with a Java
application as described in "Java Web Start" guide
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/contents.html
:
<association mime-type="some_type/my_file" extensions="ext">
<icon href="icon_file.png"/>
</association>

Then by double-clicking on associated file type my Java application is
launched and the associated file url is given to my Java application
with the "-open" argument.

It works nicely on Windows (with Java 6) but on Mac os X (10.4.8, java
1.5.0) no arguments, even the file url, is given to my application.

Did I miss something in "Java Web Start" ?
