I have a problem with my Java Web Start application. I have an JavaEE Application running in a Wildfly 9 container. I pass a property-file to the Web Start application which contains an URL to a csv file and an url to an template file.
When I run the application for the 1st time the application downloads the property file, loads the URL from the property file entries and downloads the csv file and the templatefile and does a mail merge with the files.
When I run the Web Start application a second, third, ... time its allways downloading the property file from the 1st run. Even the property file is overwritten everytime the user starts the Web Start application.
I've found out that when I deploy my application to Wildfly via "Full publish" from eclipse the Web Start application is working fine but when I deploy my application via "Project --> Export --> WAR file" and place the .war file at the deployment folder in my Wildfly installation I do get the behaviour explained above.
Some additional infos: Deployment via "Export WAR file" console output, 1st run:

I need to get it working with deployment via "Export WAR file". Anybody know what's the problem?
------------------------------EDIT-------------------------------------
This is the load process of the property file, here is everything fine, I can manually open the property file and the content is correct.
Properties clientprops=new Properties();
clientprops.put("modus", modus);
clientprops.put("templatepath", templateUrl);
clientprops.put("csvpath", csvUrl);
String propertypath=jnlpdir + user + ".properties";
File fp = new File(propertypath);
OutputStream out;
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(fp);
clientprops.store(out, "Benötigte Attribute für die Aktivierung der Textverwaltungsschnittstelle");
} catch (IOException e2) {
e2.printStackTrace();
}
Thats how I download the property file
File proppath = new File(tmpdir + "prop.properties");
URL url;
try {
url = new URL(args[0]);
FileUtils.copyURLToFile(url, proppath);
} catch (IOException e) {
showFehler("Properties konnten nicht kopiert werden");
}
copyURLToFile(url, proppath) is a method from the appache FileUtils. The downloaded property file has invalid content. It is everytime the content from the 1st run.
