Possibility to avoid download of JNLP file or to delete it afterwards?
843802Jun 14 2007 — edited Nov 4 2007Hi,
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,
