Subject: RE: External jar files
MIME-Version: 1.0

Hello,
 
Thanks for your response. There are certain jar files that our application
uses that the end user must acquire. An example is the IBM
MQ Series classes for Java. These can be obtained only from IBM.
 
Reading the JNLP spec did help. The 1.0.1 spec recommends, on page 37, to
create a custom class loader to download code from the net work. This works
but also circumvents the caching mechanisms provided by the JNLP client..
 
It would be helpful if a future version of the spec allowed for the
inclusion of jar files not distributed with the application. I would be
happy to write this up if you would be willing to consider it in the future.
 
Regards,
