here is the most complete JNLP file i can post
It is good enough to confirm that it (like your two extension
JNLP files) is entirely *valid*. There might still be problems with
..relative paths, and a numer of other things, but I am now
confident enough to proceed to other possibilites, like..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="$$codebase">
..ahh yes. I am not on 'firm ground'/'expert knowledge' here,
but recent threads make me think that if no 'href' attribute
is mentioned, it might lead to entirely undesirable results.
The best I can understand/explain it at the moment is
'lack of a href' causes many changes in the way that the
plug-in acts on JNLP files. Splash screen images and icons
are ignored, no 'desktop integration' is done. I think the lack
of a href implies to the plug-in that this is a 'dynamic' JNLP,
and it is (therefore) less less likely to cache classes
(or make shortcuts etc.).
Another part of a 'smart answer' or 'smart reply' it to make sure
each question that is asked - by someone trying to help, is
*answered.*
For example, I asked you..
"Have you told* the cache *not* to store local files?"
My answer will be :
How do I check that?, What do you mean by 'told'?
Now "we're cooking with gas" (a 'good thing', for those
unfamiliar with the term).
The *default* behaviour of the Java plug-in is to cache
classes downloaded, but this behaviour might be changed
in the Java Control Panel. If it is changed, I am guessing
it is due to somebody (like the system administrator) using
a 'script' to install Java without that option(?).
In any case, to check it, have a look at this post about
changing the cache location..
<http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5209499>
It is not *exactly* what you need to check, but (hopefully)
if you see these screens before your eyes, you will guess
how to 'follow the prompts' and see anything suspicious in
the settings (though it might help if you can describe what
you see, and the settings).
