OWS does not honor online="false" attribute on JNLP #562

If you have a java application that works in offline mode and your JNLP file instructs desktop shortcut to be created in offline mode, it still does not work out-of-the-box with OWS. You need to add -Xoffline to desktop shortcut manually, which is not user-friendly at all. Note, this works with icedtea-web 1.8.8 (for java 8 applets).

We are having the same problem.

Also running the application with the -Xoffline option does not work in all cases. I run into two similar, but still different problems:

  1. in some cases OWS can't find some of the app's jar files in the cache, even though they are there under the cache directory
  2. in other cases, when there are several versions of a jar file in the cache, OWS does not find the latest version
