After installing Java Update 4 for Mac OS X 10.5 (which just came out) jnlps stopped working for me and a number of other folks.
The symptom is that clicking on a jnlp starts some other application than Java Web Start -- in my case it was DashCode. This problem has occurred for 4 out of 8 folks I work with who have updated. The update deletes the old Java Web Start app located here: /Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Web Start and creates a new Java Web Start app located here: /System/Library/CoreServices/Java Web Start The update does not appear to rebuild the launch services database properly (in some cases). If you open /System/Library/CoreServices in the finder any applications in CoreServices which are not registered in the launch services database will be added. After doing this jnlps worked again from Safari, FireFox, and the Finder. I sent a bug report to Apple (bug id: 6987107).
