JApplet .jar compression?
Hi,
I'm running my applet through some performance testing and noticing that the download times over the network are quite long. The jar file is already compressed via Java and is around 3MB. Do you guys know of some techniques I could use to compress the jar even further and/or improve applet download times? Thanks.
p.s. Production environment is BEA Weblogic 8.1/Java 1.4.2_11.
Regards, Marc

Thanks for the suggestion, guys. I tried Pack200 a few days back but couldn't get it working. The applet couldn't find the main class once the pack.gz file was returned from the server. Maybe I packed it wrong or the logic in my servlet is wrong . . . but it's definitely something I need to look into when I have a few more cycles available.
In the meantime, I've implemented some caching which saves time on the startup.
<object>
<param name="cache_option" value="Plugin"/>
<param name="cache_archive" value="..."/>
<param name="cache_version" value="1.0.0.1"/>
</object>Regards, Marc

Good point! It makes the build more complex, but it's definitely a workable
solution.

Ok, but you're talking about the app server. The applet runs on the
client. You can still deploy a Java 1.5/6 applet via a servlet if you
can make sure the client has a Java 1.5 or 6 plug-in installed. My

I suppose upgrading to a different app server is out of the question?

If you could upgrade to 1.5 or 6 then you'd be able to take advantage of
Pack200 compression.
