So I’m looking deployment now, and I relying on the applet fallback method to support OSX users as described below:

Combined with this I was planning to make use of PersistenceService to cache a few files locally, but in the Applet fallback case I suspect that this jnlp service is unavailable? (returns null for available services). Previously I was using a signed webstart, but I’m trying to avoid that by staying inside the sandbox. Any tips/ideas/suggestions?
Update: forget it. I must have been mad thinking to use regular Applets. I’d forgotten just how painful they are to work with. Anyway I got hold of an XP test box and was able to at least try the new plugin2 stuff. Also looks a bit flakey around the edges, and what’s with the little warning triangles everywhere… we really want to scare the customers hehe. Anyway this is off topic. I’m gonna wait patiently for snow leopard and pluggin2
