JSP code downloaded?

Posted by Matt Gerrans on November 14, 2001 at 1:27 PM

I don't understand. With servlets and JSPs, the (byte)code is run on the server and doesn't need to be downloaded, AFAIK. The class files only need to be downloaded for applets. So either you have some other problem, or you have big applets (that you didn't mention).

If the caching of the browser is not disabled the applet's class files should be cached (unless they are constantly being updated).
