I'd like to use JNLP, but it's overly picky about which server it comes from. We host our client software both on our website and in the webpages that come with every device that we sell. If a user installed from the device they bought, they could not receive updates automatically from the website, and if they used more than one of our devices, they could end up with more than one separate installation of the client software.
Hopefully someone reading this will tell me how wrong I am, and what I can do about it.
