To be fair, most JNLP applications include native code that run outside 
of the Java sandbox.  That's not intrinsic to JNLP, but in practice 
that's almost always the case.  Native code bundled and launched through 
JNLP is no more secure than Active X.  JNLP is in practice a huge 
security hole, and should be treated as such.
