Speaking from personal experiences, that's a maintenance nightmare. You can do all kind of integration scripting like sniffing an existing session ID and passing as a parameter, but JNLP just feels like another one of those not-quite-complete things from Sun. Then you also have to deal with Windows boxes refusing to do the install, Apple MIME issues, JNLP cache issues etc. I would not recommend such a solution for external users, unless you like to talk to frustrated customers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
