How Java Web Start JNLP Codebase parm specify a local file system?

We have a Java application normally invoked using Java Web Start from a
WebSphere Application Server's WAR file via a servlet. We want the
application to also run on a remote, non-network connected PC. We
would like to extract the set of JARs from the WAR file and put these
on to a remote Windows PC's local file system. Is it possible to
configure the codebase parameter in a jnlp file to point to the folder
in which the JAR files reside to start the application?

Your JNLP file just points to the various jar files that the app needs
and the JAWS manager downloads and caches them as needed on the
client. see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/javawebstart.html
for sample code.
