WORK AROUND For apps running before this fix, if both 1.2.2 and 1.3 are present when 1.4 is asked for, 1.2.2 may be run, which can't download 1.4. to work around this: Have 2 jnlp files. the first one (MyApp1.jnlp) has the following: <jnlp spec="1.0" codebase="..." href="MyApp2.jnlp"> <j2se version="1.4.1+ 1.3+"/> In the second jnlp file (MyApp2.jnlp) have the following: <jnlp spec="1.0" codebase="..." href="MyApp2.jnlp"> <j2se version="1.4.1+"/> Have the link on the net point to the first jnlp file. The browser will download it, and the native code will launch java 1.3.X , since that matches the specified version="1.4.1+ 1.3+". The java code will then download the right jnlp file and request 1.4.1 from java.sun.com. but now it should work since it will be running 1.3.x. ###@###.### 2002-11-21
