Hi Nathan: Sorry for the delay in responding.Both ideas below sound interesting. Im not clear exactly how you are using the jnlp. Are you doing the same thing the TDS does to allow viewers to start up with a particular opendap dataset URL? Can you send me an example Hyrax URL that fetches the jnlp?

Greetings I have some questions regarding the way that IDV and ToolsUI are deployed via webstart. I have been caching the prototype .jnlp files in my distribution and modifying the arguments as needed on a per request basis. This implementation lacks flexibility when the application host site upgrades to a newer version (and removes the older one). I see that on motherlode the IDV jnlp bundle now references a "current" version of the codebase (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/current/webstart) and that the resources (jar files) are loaded based on content held at the application site: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/current/webstart/IDV/idvbase.jnlp This seem like a much more flexible plan. Is it something that will also be done for NetCDF-ToolsUI? Alternatively, someone pointed me at the way that AutoPlot handles it's jnlp generation. They host the application files and a cgi that you pass the arguments to as part of the query string, it hands back a JNLP with the arguments filled out and pointing to their most recent version of the AutoPlot application. http://autoplot.org/jnlp.cgi?uri=http://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/sp_phys/data/fast/acf/1998/fa_k0_acf_19980102_v01.cdf Any thoughts about this?
