      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      I have a DST-sensitive application running under JRE 1.4.2. In order to upgrade users in time for the 2007 DST change, I need to force a download of the latest version. Accordingly, I have added the following line to the JNLP file as per the specification:

      <j2se version="1.4.2_13" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" max-heap-size="128m" />

      However, JRE 1.4.2_13 is not available for auto-download. This is critical for my application as it would be difficult if not impossible to do a manual update to hundreds of users.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      As above.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Automatic download of updated JRE.
      ACTUAL -
      JNLP application launch fails because it can't find the required version.

      ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
      As above.
      ---------- END SOURCE ----------

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Manual update of all users.
