The programmer just needs to make sure..
The DLL will be found, if it is in the root of a
Jar file which is referenced by a nativelib
element in the JNLP file.
OTOH, if the DLL is actually an EXE, the way to go is
to invoke an installer-desc from the main JNLP file
which installs the app. in either..
a) a known location (such as 'user.home') or..
b) a location the user specifies, then stores the
path using either a system property, or the
PersistenceService (available through the JNLP API).
(If I had the choice, I would definitely use a DLL
or .so native lib, rather than install an app. -
the nativelibs can be updated automatically by JWS,
whereas the app. cannot be updated, unless it
updates itself).
F-U's narrowed to c.l.j.help only.
