Java GUI unable to automatically run on website

I have a Java program that runs a GUI that receives required information from the user/displays information. There is a button in the GUI that generates a Proposal in the form of a PDF that I wish the user to be able to download. I am having trouble having the GUI automatically run when the web page is opened, instead it just displays the icon of the JNLP file being referenced within the HTML.

Java Web Start does not run a GUI within a web page. Java Web Start is a technology for downloading and launching a local Java app on a JVM already present on the user’s machine.

Java Web Start has been phased out by Oracle, as Oracle no longer expects user machines to have a JVM pre-installed. See Oracle white paper, Java Client Roadmap Update.

OpenWebStart is an alternative open-source implementation of Java Web Start technology.

If you want to build a web app GUI using pure Java without having to learn HTML, JavaScript, DOM, WebSockets, etc., I suggest Vaadin Flow.
