A:
It depends... on your OS and virtual machine, e.g.:
- with a Sun JDK 1.5 and Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\userid\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javaws\ - with a Sun JDK 1.6 and Vista:
C:\Users\userid\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0 - with a Sun JDK 1.6 and GNU/Linux:
/home/userid/.java/deployment/cache/6.0
With a Sun JDK 6, this can be configured through the Java Control Panel (Temporary Internet Files Settings in the General tab).

There is more to JNLP than just Sun's implementation.
The OpenJDK packages shipped by Debain, for instance, bundle netx, which stores its files in ~/.netx/cache/. The Wikipedia entry has a list of known implementations other than Sun's.
You really shouldn't rely on this path being well-known in your application's code.
