I'm developing a web solution for order tracking. I'm using a java applet. The jar needed is on the supplier's server and the clients will connect to it. The thing is how can I avoid downloading the jar from the supplier all the time?
I was thinking that maybe if I copy the jar archive into the client's harddrive and then add a classpath to it, the browser would detect it and wouldn't download the file. But this doesn't seem to work at all! Is this possible or not?
Other way was to try and store the jar on the java-plugin cache, but if it was possible I'd prefer to have it on the classpath since the jar is a bit big and so everytime the were updates they'd need to download it again. If it was possible to use a classpath I could send the clients new version on cd or something.
Using the web browser cache is impractible since the jar ends up being deleted very often, and I'm by all means trying to avoid downloading.
Any tips on this subject?
