Q
Qu0ll
I have not deployed an applet using JNLP before and I have a couple of
questions about lazy JAR downloading in this scenario.
1. It seems I should be able to use DownloadService to download JARs when I
want them but I am curious to know how and when the JARs would be downloaded
otherwise. If I specify say 5 JARs in the JNLP file, is it necessary to
explicitly use DownloadService to download them or will they all be
downloaded when they are required or perhaps when the applet is launched? I
am guessing it's not when the applet is launched or else there wouldn't be
much point in having DownloadService so how does it manage the downloading
of JARs if DownloadService is not explicitly utilised?
2. And, depending on the answer to (1), does the same apply to extensions?
