Description
Shadowing of JIRA: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-16847

Steps to reproduce:
1. Invoke javaws -uninstall to clear cache or clear cache using Java control panel 
2. Make sure that pop-up blocker is turned off and set browser TAB settings to always open new page inside new window 
3. Open http://mossad.us.oracle.com:8080/basicAuth/tests/fxfeaturesTest/fxfeaturesTest/html/ShowDocumAuthSCJNLPTest.html inside new browser window 
4. There should be Authenticated pop-up from browser. Enter credentials as User: jituB and password: jitu20 
5. Click on "Webstart: click to launch this app as webstart" 
6. There should be Authenticated pop-up from Java. Enter credentials as User: jituB and password: jitu20 
7. There should be prompt to create shortcut. Allow to create shortcut and make sure that shorcut with name"ShowDocumAuthSCTest" is getting created 
8. JNLP Application should get loaded fine 
9. Now close the application and click on shorctut "ShowDocumAuthSCTest". Make sure that application is getting launched

EVALUATION

When we launch JNLP applet-desc using JNLPViewer, Applet2Environment.initialize() replace ServiceManager.service with an instanceof Applet2BrowserService which is based on essentially NoopAppletExecutionContext (DisconnectedExecutionContext is essentially the same with regards to platform authentication services).  This execution context, basically return null CredentialManager, causing NPE and  authentication failure, hence 401 return code on update check.

One possible fix is to preserve the initial ServiceManager.service and use it as fallback for platform services calls on DisconnectedExecutionContext.

The NPE in JNLPException also need to be fix, but is not essential to the failure.
