Summary
In this chapter we introduced JNLP from a more theoretical viewpoint than Chapter 8. In particular, we discussed some considerations regarding the adoption of such a deployment technology. Then we explored the protocol main stages and the basic JNLP file structure, covering the two main types of descriptors, for extensions and applications. After having completed a first, overall picture of the JNLP protocol, we are now ready to examine its details. The next chapter will describe how the Client Environment (we introduced such a concept in Chapter 2) can be described using the JNLP protocol.
