Reserved Keywords -- Hidden? JNLP

Question

I was browsing through some details when a thread caught my eye.

https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=9886607

As you can see; &TOKEN=something in JNLP href is considered a special keyword and &token works. I am not really sure if this is the case. But thought of browsing the oracle site to get more details on these 'keywords'. Could not find any reference to this 'TOKEN'. So was wondering is there a list of keywords we are not supposed to use in JNLP href? Anyone know if its officially published somewhere? Or could suggest a way to try and search for those in local java installation?

It probably isn't reserved as much as used in an internal, app-breaking-if-modified manner. – Angieangil

I don't think you can conclude much at all from that thread. I didn't think so when I contributed to it. – Tocology

Answer 1

That I know of there are only 3 magic tokens you can use in fields. $$codebase, $$context and $$name. They are replaced when the script is executed. If I recall $$codebase generates the location of the jnlp file, $$name is the jnlp file name and I have no idea what $$context is.

I never heard of an &TOKEN however.
