Our java applet downloads files with a couple of different file extensions off the web server. In IE with MS Java 1 JVM, even these different file extensions were cached (ie. .bp, .sf, etc). They are not being cached by the Java 2 JRE so it is running a lot slower. Is there a way to change, possibly with a -D parameter, the file extensions that are cached by the JRE? Thanks.
See Appendix 4: Applet Caching in the Java Deployment Guide:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/index.html
and
Applet Caching in Part I of the Java Plug-in Developer Guide
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/index.html
and
Temporary Internet Files subpanel of the General tab of the Java Control Panel,
which allows individual control of the cache behaviour, size, etc. This is documented in:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html#general
