Hi Tim

I used the DownloadServlet from the JDK example and tomcat, before I suggested to use glassfish (for different reasons, one beeing the webstart support of glassfish!)

I changed the DownloadServlet so that it can inject not only the $$codebase etc, but also environment properties.

So we could run different servers for different environments (DEV, TST, PRD, etc) and use the same war file for the different environments.

The Icons on the desktop would reflect the different env. like:
TST - Application
PRD - Application
etc.
and the env property was dynamically injected.
This is very usefull in an entierprise environment......

Using glassfish, we can accomplish the same result only by generating different EARs (one for every environment).

So it's not a blocker, but still a very interesting feature ;-))

PS: I didnt have time to download the glassfish sources and help you implement this feature, but I'll try as soon as possible!
