    Hello,

    I put a java webstart application on a web site which uses Tomcat5 as
    the web server. If I do not add access control to the web site, I can
    open the webstart application with NS, IE6, FireFox without any
    problem.

    After I add access control to the web site, NS and FireFox have no
    problem to open the webstart application, though I need to type in the
    user/password for the 2nd time to get authenticated, this is a minor
    issue, I can live with it for the timebeing.

    The big problem is, I could not open the webstart application from IE.
    IE expects a .jnlp file in the "Temporary Internet Files" directory,
    but there is not such a file there.

    If I deploy this same java webstart application to iplanet web server
    with access control, IE works just fine to open it. And I can find the
    .jnlp file in the "Temporary Internet Files" directory.

    (I do not actually have the .jnlp file, I have a jsp file generating
    the JNLP tagged content for the webstart application.)
