Splash element in JNLP

Hi,

I was experimenting with getting the splash gif/jpg file from another server. So rather than:

which refers to a local .jpg file I put in the following:

But I don't get the new .jpg showing up as the splash even after multiple launches to overcome the background updating I do.

I am attempting to make a dynamically customized .jnlp file so each customer's web site can launch the application from their web page and have their splash screen displayed, and so we don't have to host our customers' splash screen files.

Thanks for your help.

Update - The new splash screen works on two other windows computers. Why not the original windows computer? Weird.I would appreciate any comments.

It might be a 'sticky JNLP file' from an earlier run.Did you try ..Uninstalling the app.?Changing the cache location temporarily for testing?

Andrew,

Yes. I removed it multiple ways, from the Java Cache Viewer and then using the Add/Remove Software approach. No change. From your suggestion I went into the Java Control Panel and set the Temporary Files location to a different/new folder. Still no change.

All three computers are running XP Pro and all have JRE6u1. Two of the machines are plugged into the same switch and one gets the original splash the other one gets the new splash. The third machine is elsewhere.

Thank you. I hope you might have another idea...please and thank you.

BTW, I looked at the JNLP file in the Java Cache Viewer and it specifies the new splash but show the old.hopi

in an unsigned application, all of the resources (including jars, nativelibs and images) must be downloaded from the same host./Andy

Hello,

Buuf, I'm creating a jnlp with a splash icon, and there's no way it appears. I've try all the solutions suggested here and some others, deleted cache files, changed all references to the jpg file, and it never appears. But, if i create a shortcut link with the same file as icon, it appears perfectly..so...mmm, any idea?

Thanks.

Andy,Thanks again for the continued consideration. All the jars are signed and two of three computers get the .jpg from the alternate site. If anything else comes to you mind please let me know.hopi
