Thanks for your reply. Sorry for my late reply.
We had this config file which contains the connection-properties for the client to connect to the server.
We are using rmi over http.
So the properties are like
connection.protocol =.....
connection.port=....
connection.hostname=...
etc... These are like defined deployment time at deployment time. So we wanted to be able to specify these properties in a file in the server. This file will not be in a jar. And we wanted this file to be downloaded to the client via
java web-start.
====================
Thats the whole story in short.
Now 2 Qs, 1. What is suitable approach in this scenario?
2. Is there a way to download any other than jar, zip.. like .exe, .xml files?
