Thanks Herman,

I was hoping to get away easy without having to write a custom cgi or php
script... :-)

The guys at webstart faq have a VERY nice servlet based one...
Nice and configurable via an XML file for multiple os, arch, versions...

Cheers,
Renier

Renier, have a look at
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/developers.html
At the bottom of this page there are some paragraphs about JRE downloading.
It might be possible to download from a different URL than SUN's website
with 1.5 version of Webstart, but I do not think it is possible with older
versions ...

Does anyone know how to make/trick webstart into downloading the appropriate
JRE ( specified in your JNLP ) from a intranet server?

I checked the files it downloads from sun's server and it's a couple of jars
named jre-xxxxxx-windows-i586.jar or something like that. Where do I get my
grubby little paws on these files ( except for scrounging for them in my
webstart cache ). i.e. a very nicely packaged sun intranet install? 

Basically I would like to specify the exact JRE in the JNLP and get the
client machines to download that of the intranet server since not all of
them have internet access?

Has anyone done this or am I just plain delusional? :-)

Cheers,
Renier
