Possibility to avoid download of JNLP file or to delete it afterwards?

Hi,

I wonder if there is a way to avoid downloading the JNLP file or, to be more precise, I do not want the file to be stored on my user's PC.

We have a strategy game application that we deploy using webstart. But in many browsers (Firefox, Safari and some others), the jnlp files always get downloaded and stored either in a local cache location or even on the desktop.

Is there a way to avoid downloading the files and storing them? Or maybe to delete them after they have done their job of starting the game? (we have the all permissons flag...)

Don't get me wrong, I do want my jar files to be cached, but I want to keep the jnlp file away from my users.

A more materialistic motiviation for this is that I want to draw the users to my page; to press the button that generates the JNLP and starts the game.I do not want them to simply have the JNLP file on their desktop and be able to start the game by just clicking on it.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

Enlighting Man

Does no one else want to attract traffic to a side with a webstart application?I can't imagine that I'm the only one with this problem...

I guess most people would look to sell licenses,

updates, support or extra functionality.

But if the actual point is to..

> the game.

..collect hits on a particular URL, why not

simply use the BasciService.showDocument()*

method to open the URL once the application

starts?
