I considered webstart, however I want to be able to push the files onto
the users computer as an update.
In short: impossible.
no it is not , but may be ,only if someone does not know what they are
doing,
or does not have the background to do it.
The users computer would have to continuously run a server process, have
a port open and listen for update calls. You would have to know each and
every user computer, complete with IP. These requirements are
incompatible with company networks as well as with home computer setups.
no you do not.
I already do it for our staff in the office , people working at home , and
our staff that are out traveling ,as well as using it for installing the
system , by issuing the user a small "boot-strap" java program &
password.
