The jnlp spec says:
"
Properties must be processed in the order specified in the JNLP file. Thus, if two properties define different values for the same property, then the last value specified in the JNLP file is used. For example, given the following two declarations, n the given order:

<property name="key" value="overwritten"/>
<property name="key" value="used"/>

Then the property key will have the value used.
"

But the javaws does not follow this doc and uses "overwritten" value.
See example

--------------Test.java----------------

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

         String propValue = System.getProperty("key");


         Frame f = new Frame("Test");
         f.add(new Label("Property value: " + propValue));
         f.setSize(300, 100);
         f.setVisible(true);
                  
    }
}

------------------- OUTPUT ------------
Property value: overwritten
