A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Want to start java webstart application with 32 bit java 8. The installed version is jdk1.8.0_112 with both 64bit and 32 bit java.

Trying to launch java webstart application from command line using 32 bit version.

It works on 64 bit Centos 6.8.

But not working with 64 bit Centos 6.2, Centos 6.5 and Centos 6.6.

Command using looks something like

jdk1.8.0_112/32bit/bin/javaws -verbose http://internal-site/webstart/some.jnlp

Its not even starting Java process to see what might have gone wrong.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u76
