Bug Description:
  Having a query string to a jnlp file negates the SingleInstanceService.
  This is a total show stopper for us. We wanted to use a new link with
  a query string to modify the current state of our running program.
  If this does not work, we don't really have a solution to the problem
  we are trying to solve.

Steps to Reproduce (be specific):
  * Create a webstart enabled application that implements the SingleInstanceListener
    and registers itself appropriately
  * Create a servlet to process JNLP files
Servlet will detect a query string on the jnlp request
If a query string is detected, it will modifiy the JNLP file
The "href" attribute of the "jnlp" tag altered to show the query string
For example,
<jnlp
spec="1.0+"
codebase="http://k9.dev.donnell.com:8084/"
href="[original href]?[query string]">
  * Run the webstart program with a link that does not contain a query string.
  * While that program is still running, click on the same link again.
  * RESULT: theActivation(String[] args) method will be called in the original
    instance...SUCCESS

  * Run the webstart program again, this time from a link that does contain a
    query string.
  * While that program is still running, click on the same link again.
  * RESULT: SingleInstanceService will be ignored and a new instance will
    start...FAILURE

  No matter what we do, having a query string nullifies the SingleInstance
  functionality
