Description hefest 2006-05-08 11:25:33 UTC 
My test concluded of the following:
1. run the app via .jnlp from the IDE
2. copy .../dist/jnlp/* to my ~/public_html
3. run the app from localhost/~me/jnlp/local/master.jnlp
4. arrange a couple of TCs
5. close app
6. run the app from the same location
7. verify TC arrangement

I've done this experiment a number of times now and I've never seen it
work as I expected it to work: when the app starts, all the TCs are in their
default locations instead of where I left them.
Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2006-08-09 15:55:22 UTC 
Do you know that the master.jnlp after step "3" contains reference to files on 
your local disk and as such you are very likely not running against the HTTP 
server at all?

Anyway I know that the configuration of components is lost, I'll keep 
investigating.

Comment 3 hefest 2006-08-10 11:01:31 UTC 
I did some JNLP testing on other machines, running over apache...but most of the
time I probably ran from the local disk, as you said. Still, the more important
problem was handling change: can't wait to try out update 2. When is it due?
Comment 4 Jaroslav Tulach 2006-08-10 12:54:56 UTC 
No plans right now, it costs a lot to do new update and still there are not 
that much new features. If you need the fix, try to pickup the apisupport from 
trunk.
Comment 5 hefest 2006-10-31 23:24:08 UTC 
Great news! When is u1 due to be released?
Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2006-10-31 23:35:13 UTC 
No concrete plans for 5.5u1 just yet.
Comment 7 hefest 2006-10-31 23:38:47 UTC 
Never mind. If the functionality becomes urgently needed, I'll see if I can
build the platform from source.
Thanks
