you'll probably want to take a look at the rash of java vulnerabilties
that were released recently (see: full-disclosure). one that may be of
particular use to you is the argument injection vulnerability that was
included in metasploit:
http://blog.metasploit.com/2010/04/java-web-start-argument-injection.

Make sure this type (client-side) of attack is included in your threat
model for the application, even if it isn't in-scope for the
assessment.
