Description
currently in JWS and JPI, whenever there is a updated resource hosted on the server, we will always download it to client during application/applet startup.

we would like to support a wider-range of update policy, such as background update; prompt user for decision, etc.

EVALUATION suggested : new Control Panel option: deployment.update.prompt to control if user should be prompted for application update. JNLP Specification new element (sub-element of the <jnlp> element: <!ELEMENT update > <!ATTLIST update check (always | timeout | background) "timeout"> !ATTLIST update policy (always | prompt-update | prompt-run) "always"> current behavior is: if offline-allowed: check = timeout policy = always. if not offline-allowed: check = always; policy = always; we would change curent default to check = timeout and policy = always in both cases. ###@###.### 2005-2-02 16:20:35 GMT The spec change will be covered by: 6250176: Update Jnlp Spec for 6.0 This CR is for the implementation. ###@###.### 2005-04-11 14:02:58 GMT
