client access of jar on server

[Jeet]

Hi,

Is there a way where I keep an application(in jar format) on server,
from where all clients on network can access it, downloads it
dynamically and runs it? This is needed as this would ease out the
problem of putting client jar on each individual client m/c.

Thanks in advance.

Sun has developed "Java Web Start" for precisely this purpose.
