Abstract

In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a computer readable medium including software instructions for performing a method, the method including receiving, by a content server, a first request from a client for an application content file, wherein the application content file is associated with a first Java network launch protocol (JNLP) file, providing, in response to the first request, the application content file; receiving, from the client, a second request to edit the application content file, providing, in response to the second request, an application designer tool to the client; receiving, from the client, an altered application content file generated using the application designer tool, generating a second JNLP file associated with the altered application content file, and providing, to a webserver, the second JNLP file.

Claims

1. A computer readable medium comprising software instructions for performing a method, the method comprising:

receiving, by a content server, a first request from a client for an application content file, wherein the application content file is associated with a first Java network launch protocol (JNLP) file;

providing, in response to the first request, the application content file;

receiving, from the client, a second request to edit the application content file;

providing, in response to the second request, an application designer tool to the client;

receiving, from the client, an altered application content file generated using the application designer tool;

generating a second JNLP file associated with the altered application content file; and

providing, to a webserver, the second JNLP file.

2. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, by the content server, a third request from a subsequent client, wherein the third request comprises at least a portion of the second JNLP file; and

providing, to the subsequent client, the altered application content file in response to the third request.

3. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the application content file is one of a plurality of application content files.

4. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the first JNLP file comprises a network location of the application content file.

5. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the client executes at least one file associated with the application content files in response to the content server providing the application content files.

6. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the application content file is a Java archive.

7. The computer readable medium of claim 1, wherein the content server and the webserver are executing on a first computing system, and wherein the client is executing on a second computing system.

8. A system comprising:

a content server comprising;

a processor;

an application content file; and

a memory configured to store instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the content server to;

receive a first request from a client for the application content file, wherein the application content file is associated with a first Java network launch protocol (JNLP) file;

provide, in response to the first request, the application content file;

receive, from the client, a second request to edit the application content file;

provide, in response to the second request, an application designer tool to the client;

receive, from the client, an altered application content file generated using the application designer tool;

generate a second JNLP file associated with the altered application content file; and

provide, to a webserver, the second JNLP file.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions further cause the content server to:

receive a third request from a subsequent client, wherein the third request comprises at least a portion of the second JNLP file; and

provide, to the subsequent client, the altered application content file in response to the third request.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the application content file is one of a plurality of application content files.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the first JNLP file comprises a network location of the application content file.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the client executes at least one file associated with the application content files in response to the content server providing the application content files.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the application content file is a Java archive.

14. A computer readable medium comprising software instructions for performing a method, the method comprising:

sending, by a client, a first request to a webserver for an application content file, wherein the application content file is associated with a Java network launch protocol (JNLP) file;

receiving, from the webserver in response to the first request, the JNLP file;

sending a second request to a content server, wherein the second request comprises at least a portion of the JNLP file;

receiving, from the content server in response to the second request, the application content file;

sending, to the content server, a second request to edit the application content file;

receiving, from the content server in response to the third request, an application designer tool to the client;

editing the application content file using the application designer tool to obtain an altered content file;

sending, to the content server, a fourth request comprising the altered content file.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the client, a fifth request to the webserver for the application content file;

receiving, from the webserver in response to the fifth request, a new JNLP file;

sending a sixth request to the content server, wherein the sixth request comprises at least a portion of the new JNLP file;

receiving, from the content server in response to the sixth request, the altered application content file;

16. The computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the application content file is one of a plurality of application content files.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the JNLP file comprises a network location of the application content file.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the client executes the application content file in response to the content server providing the application content file.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the application content file is a Java archive.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the content server and the webserver are executing on a first computing system, and wherein the client is executing on a second computing system.
