The JNLP spec requires the codebase to be absolute. There are techniques using JSPs or servlets that allow you to use placeholders for part of the URL and the JSP or servlet replaces those placeholders at runtime using the active server's URL. So from your point of view as a developer you can write the codebase in the JNLP using a placeholder. But by the time the server responds to the HTTP request for the JNLP document, the URL must be absolute to comply with the spec.
