Jar File caching in temp directory problem
Hello,
I have a problem where the java plugin is caching jar_cache9999.jar (where 9999 is any number 0-9) files in the temp directory. I have tried following the directions for disk caching in the documentation, but these files are always created, never destroyed.
I was wondering:
1. Is there a simple setting that I could set that should resolve this problem? (un-setting "cache jars in memory" wouldn't seem to solve the problem as I would think that would only force the browser to use the same jar if it had already been loaded)
2. Has this problem been corrected in later releases of the java plugin? I am using the jre1.2.2. When I looked at the problem here in the forums, the bug that was listed was listed as fixed.
Thanks,
Dan Hughes

Hi,
Java Plug-in has supported disk caching in previous versions by using the same cache the browser uses for all other web documents. This works for casual applet usage, but larger applets can often get flushed from the cache to make room for other documents since the browser has no knowledge that an applet file might be needed in the future. The result is that this caching strategy fails where is needed most in large business applets.
From 1.3. the new feature is activated by including the new "cache_option" , "cache_archive" and "cache_version" values in the EMBED/OBJECT tag that specifies the use of Java Plug-in as below:
<OBJECT ....>
<PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="...">
....
<PARAM NAME="cache_option" VALUE="...">
<PARAM NAME="cache_archive" VALUE="...">
<PARAM NAME="cache_version" VALUE="...">
</OBJECT>
or
<EMBED ....
archive="..."
....
cache_option="..."
cache_archive="..."
cache_version="...">
