Dynamic jnlp browser

Question

Hi,
I have a web page processing a servlet which produces a jnlp file dynamically, when pressing a button on the page. Servlet is working and loading, then opening a new web browser displaying the result of the work(by using BasicService showDocument() method). But the old page, which loaded servlet, remains open. I want to close the old browser when java web start application finishes its work and opens a new page.
Thank you for replies..

  /** Reference to the root frame hosting this JWS applet */
  Frame root = null;
  public void init() {
    Component parent = getParent();
    while(parent.getParent()!=null) {
      parent = parent.getParent();
    if (parent instanceof Frame) {
      root = (Frame)parent;
    System.out.println(root);
    System.out.println(root.getBounds());
I searched the web and this forum for a
few days now but couldn't find any hint.Maybe you were looking in the wrong place..

As an aside, the easiest thing to do for an
applet that does not require a full applet
context (paramaters, codebase, getimage etc.)
is to
- construct it.
- call init() and stat() on the instance, then
- add it to the CENTER of your own frame.
- call the frame as an application (from a main())
