If the applet is signed and download to the computer by browser, is it stored in the computer and the browser will not re-load applet while accessing the same web page again?

No, applet code in any form (.class or .jar) never saved on client machine. Ability to do that is Java WebStart (TM) applications' feature and obvious advantage.

Hi,

In fact, the applet jars will be cached by the plugin. You can use the following switches to check what the applet is doing when it downloads from a website.

-Djavaplugin.trace=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect

If you want a little more control, you can use cache_version. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/applet_caching.html#algorithm

As long as plugin used of course. Developers preferred light-weight applets giving up all 1.4/1.3 advantages do not have that luxary.
