Hello,
The title says it all. Is there areliable andsecure way to get the number of times my application jars have been downloaded?
Reason: I am trying to determine whether a business model that charges (say) 1 cent, each time a jar is downloaded, is viable.
thanks,
Anil

Absolutely, but this will have to be done at the server level. Each time a request for the JNLP file is made, simply log it. But again, I don't think you can/would do this in Java so it's server-specific regarding implementation.

Well, I guess you could log the IP that made the request, because you don't want to charge someone twice if they crash and reload in 5 minutes, right?
