Beginner: How is JNLP file renewed.

Hi,

I had successfully deployed a Java Swing application with Java Web Start and had successsfully released patches/updates with it. Part of the configuration is that a desktop icon was created for it and users have been using that.

Now, I am ready to deploy a new "version" of the application which has a different sets of JAR files, so a new jnlp file was put onto the server. However, it seems that if I click on the desktop icon, it does not get the new jnlp file and therefore error out because it is looking for an old jar file that is no longer there.

I tried to use the browser, and it encountered the same error (until I cleared the private data). After I cleared the private data, then the browser started working, but the desktop icon still does not.

I don't know why, can someone give me some hints/suggestions. I will continue to research this also.

Here is some additional information:

1. Since I am a developer, I had 3 icons (for development, stage and production). I did it by renaming the desktop icon after it was first created.

2. My pc was recently upgraded with 1.6.

Thanks....

I too have asked this question. See http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5178221&tstart=30

The bug report mentioned in this thread seems to be a similar problem. I have installed 1.6.0_02-ea-b02 but this behavior still exists.

I can't believe more people aren't complaining about this.
