danielmd, I commend you for taking the effort to explain patiently, why JWS stinks - and shame on the folks at Sun for not listening.
Yes, I myself have a JWS application (http://juwo.com) and when I wrote it, I thought - how cool JWS is, so easy to deploy.
However when I gave potential (notice that I say 'potential') customers the JNLP link to my app, they were simply befuddled by all the dialogs and the fact that the script in the html to install JWS did not work always.
They got turned off, went away and never came back. My advisors are now recommending that I implement in Flash, MS.Net instead of Java. <br/> To all you geeks at Sun, I wish I could say it less politely, but you need to be shaken awake, "LISTEN TO THE EXPERIENCE OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!!"
