Major Flaw in Java Web Start
i've discovered 2 ways to easily destroy deployment of webstart applications to your clients..
1. after launching .jnlp file from website, cancel it at any time!
2. change certificate. (or sign with 2 certificates)
this results in the following errors for me:
JNLPException[category: Launch File Error : Exception: null : LaunchDesc:
[ jnlp file here ]
at com.sun.javaws.LaunchDownload.checkSignedResourcesHelper(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.javaws.LaunchDownload.checkSignedResources(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.continueLaunch(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.handleApplicationDesc(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.handleLaunchFile(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
if i try to launch the application again, it will first try to verify my packages (that have not been downloaded) and fail to launch.. and thereby not getting the complete .jar files..
this is very sad.. can i somehow force an update of my files before it tries to verify them ?
regards,
Dennis
