Silly question. When exactly does the classloader use this? i.e how much speedup does it really give?
The sun docos say network classloaders, for applets and the like can exhibit speedup, but it seems to me that unless classloader and server are talking HTTP1.1 for byte-range downloads, applets arent going to be able to selectively load files from a JAR. Web start, on the other hand, should be able to use it. So, is that the place where it is used? Does anyone have any quantitive data on the speedup? -Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
