Thanks, Andrew.

Your thanks is better expressed in your future
lack of top-posting.

I've not been able to find anything related to this in Sun's bug
database...

I did some poking around on JNLP, and tried a test script... A couple
of things I'm not clear on:
- Do I need to re-sign the application? I don't have access to the
source code, so I'm not sure i can do that

No. But, since you mentioned it..

It does not seem entirely relevant to this applet,
but a webstart launched 'File Uploader' would not need
to be signed at all if it used JNLP services to access
File objects.

- Is there a way to use JNLP to load app inline within the web page?

No. The JRE 1.6.0_10-beta includes an (experimental)
ability to make applets that can be dragged off a web
page (this uses a JNLP file to configure various things),
but the in-page applet would still be subject to the
same errors you are seeing - I guess.

When I ran my test app from inside Firefox, it appeared as a new
window; I'd like to keep it on the web page.

Ughh.. 'Think outside the browser'. ;-)
