Answer 1

If you host your JNLP file in a Java Web Container (e.g. Tomcat) instead of normal HTTP server (e.g. Apache Web Server), you may use JNLP Servlet provided by Sun https://stackoverflow.com/a/7593088/418439. Some interesting variables are $$codebase, $$site (see code below). For instance, $$site in JNLP file will be replaced by the hosting machine ip address and its port (E.g. http://10.10.10.1:8080)

private String specializeJnlpTemplate(HttpServletRequest request, String respath, String jnlpTemplate) {
    String urlprefix = getUrlPrefix(request);
    int idx = respath.lastIndexOf('/'); //
    String name = respath.substring(idx + 1);    // Exclude /
    String codebase = respath.substring(0, idx + 1); // Include /
    jnlpTemplate = substitute(jnlpTemplate, "$$name",  name);
// fix for 5039951: Add $$hostname macro
jnlpTemplate = substitute(jnlpTemplate, "$$hostname",
              request.getServerName());
    jnlpTemplate = substitute(jnlpTemplate, "$$codebase",  urlprefix + request.getContextPath() + codebase);
    jnlpTemplate = substitute(jnlpTemplate, "$$context", urlprefix + request.getContextPath());
    // fix for 6256326: add $$site macro to sample jnlp servlet
    jnlpTemplate = substitute(jnlpTemplate, "$$site", urlprefix);
    return jnlpTemplate;
}
