Summary
In this chapter, we examined the runtime services offered by JNLP client to its applications.
The heart of these services lies within the
javax.jnlp.ServiceManager
class. In Chapter 12,
we will study how JNLP is supported by a remote server which acts as a deployment server, as
described in Chapter 2.
