How to deploy a fail-safe Applet? (is redundant deployment possible?)
Dear sirs:
I deploy all my applets in a central server (html pages are deployed in different web servers with applet's codebase parameter pointing to the central server).
Today the network connection to the central server is blocked in my region, and all my pages could not work without proxy.
Does Sun provide any fail-safe deployment method for this kind of deployment?
The deployment method that i wish is : codebase1=http://server1/path codebase2=http://server2/path
If the first codebase ( server holding applet archive) fails, the second could take the work. Besides, this could serve as a load-balance solution.
By the way, when connection to applet's archive fails, the browser will hang for several seconds ( no responding to mouse click in other browser tabs) . I 'm afraid that browser users will not return after such experience.
Are there any work around? Thanks a lot.
