This is not quite what I need: A Java applet (or an activeX control)
will reset if the page loses focus, so what I really wondered was
if the caching would help, and the more I thought about it, the
more it seemed unfeasible because caching is done on the browser side.
The good news is that I was asking the wrong question: Instead of
coding a jabber client as an applet, many of the functions could be
coded as a per-session tool service that feed a Velocity portlet. I'd
be left with the problem of new-message and other state-change
notifications, but these could go into the static left margin and the
bulk of the messaging interface could then use the portlet framework.
For now, though, I just launch a floating window with the applet in
it -- it's ugly, but it lets me get on with other work ;)
