<p>A method and system is provided for delaying the loading of classes that are unnecessary to the start-up of an applet when a server sends an applet to a client. Methods and systems consistent with the present invention package the class files necessary for start-up of the applet on the client in a single archive file along with relatively small interface classes that reference the delayed classes. This archive file, being smaller, saves download time and can be sent with a single connection from the server computer to the client computer, as opposed to multiple connections. These methods and systems consistent with the present invention also provide a way for the client computer to request the delayed classes not included in the initial archive file if the delayed class is later needed by the client computer.</p> |
