What is NOT a typical use for Java Web Start?

Automatically updating client applications
Distributing and running standalone Java applications via the web
Facilitating communication between different web servers
Providing a user interface for server-side applications

The correct answer is: Facilitating communication between different web servers

While Java Web Start is commonly used for automatically updating client applications and distributing standalone Java applications via the web, it is not typically used for facilitating communication between different web servers. This is because Java Web Start is not designed to act as a communication or networking tool, and there are other technologies, such as APIs and web services, that are better suited for this purpose. Additionally, Java Web Start is not typically used for providing a user interface for server-side applications, as its main focus is on distributing and running client-side applications.
