applet - Caching in IE

[SPG]

Hi,

We have an applet that supports both MS and SUN jvms.
When running using SUN, we experience no caching of the applet (cos we
switched it off in the control panel!), but when we run using the MS vm, it
always seems to pull the last version from the IE temp cache even though our
applet may be newer on the server.

Is there a way to force this not to happen? I do not want to have to rename
the jar every time weupdate it. It would be nice for the browser to realize
the jar is newer though.

Looks like you have caching enabled on your HTML page that references
this applet.
you should see something like
<OBJECT ....>
<PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="...">
.....
<PARAM NAME="cache_option" VALUE="...">
<PARAM NAME="cache_archive" VALUE="...">
</OBJECT>
in your html page that refrences the applet. simply remove it and the
applet will be downloaded everytime it is referenced.

On the Macintosh it seems that this approach is insufficient and one needs
to re-save the HTML page whenever loading a new JAR.
