Consider the following jnlp file excerpt:
------------------- test.jnlp ------------
 ...
 <resources>
    <j2se version="1.3 1.2"/>
    <jar href="applet.jar"/>
 </resources>
 <applet-desc
main-class="Applet.class"
documentbase="index.html"
 ...
 </applet-desc>
 ...
-------------------------------------------
where applet.jar contains file Applet.class.
Supplying with the above file, client will send requests
in a following sequence:

GET /applet.jar HTTP/1.0
GET /Applet.class HTTP/1.0

The second request comes despite the fact Applet.class was already downloaded as
a part of applet.jar. On the other hand, JNLP spec v1.0 (proposed final draft) says:
=======================================
ch.3.6.2
--------
The applet-desc element contains all information needed to launch an Applet,
given the resources described by the resources elements.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ch.6
----
The JNLP Client can download four different kind of resources from the Web: JAR files, images, extensions, and
JNLP files.
=======================================
So, that sounds like an applet class should be taken from resources described in
<resources> elements, but downloadable resources can only be of four types - jar,image,extension
and jnlp file. Therefore, client should never send request for class file itself.
Current implementation is in the contradiction with the spec, either one or another
should be fixed.
