WebObjects Java Client-JNLP fine on OS X and Linux, Windows problem

Hi,

I have been making a somewhat fruitful exploration into WebObjects Java Client development in order to get my nice IB interfaces for prototypes functional and deployed in a cross platform environment.

I have made some good strides in figuring out the semi-documented process of Java/IB integration, and how to build (including adding external libraries) and deploy onto a server (if anyone else is interested I will share; perhaps a blog is deserved), and though I am able to run it from both Mac OSX and Linux clients on the network (the Linux interface currently looks like garbage but will work on that), when I try to run it on windows I immediately get the following error tab in General:

An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Unable to load resource: http://g5.nl.imc.local:2002/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ProfessionalTradingRAD.woa/eowebs tart/com.webobjects.eodistribution._EOWebStartAction/webStart/JavaClient.jnlp


and in the Exception tab it reads:

JNLPException[category: Download Error : Exception: java.io.IOException: rename failed in cache to: C:\Documents and Settings\alko\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dg5.nl.imc.local\P2002\DMcgi-bin\DMW ebObjects\DMProfessionalTradingRAD.woa\DMeowebstart\DMcom.webobjects.eodistribut ion._EOWebStartAction\DMwebStart\AMJavaClient.jnlp : LaunchDesc: null ]

It looks to me like the problem is with trying to rename the directory to a name with multiple periods, which works on UNIX but not on Windows. Is this a familiar problem? Is there any workaround/solution or any intent to fix?

Thanks
