Change the Application Preferences in Smart Client

Postby udrescu_bogdan » Mon Nov 01, 2010 9:15 pm

Hello,

We just change the number format on server but it does not change on the clients. They still have the numbers in the old format.

I know that they can manually set the format with the one from the server by deleting the format from Preferences (and so the server preferences will be used), but the menu is not visible, and anyway, even if we make it visible, it's annoying for users to make themselves the change. They should not be involved into this.

So, we would like to perform this change on the clients local preferences without the clients being involved. How do we do this?

Thanks,
Bogdan.

I think that they will have to download the JNLP file again after you changed the setting.

Thanks, but I tested this before and I also just tested now, and is not working. :(

I also clear the java cache and then download the jnlp but still, the old preferences are loaded.

Thank you, I found the file. If I delete it, then the preferences are loaded from the server, which is OK.

So, I need to tell the clients to delete that file. This is the only way to do it? Can't we set something on the server to reset all clients preferences?
