Xith Deployment Redundancy

Engines, Libraries and Tools Xith3D Forums

I have 3-4 Xith JWS Demos and they all use the same base libraries (Xith, JOGL, etc) that amount to approximately 2 MB. I kinda don’t want people to download the same 2 MB over and over, each time they view a different demo. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about deploying Xith demos without redownloading the same files? Thanks :slight_smile:

You could use the extension mechanism of Webstart.

thanks for the tip. i read up some and looked into the JWS cache itself and apparently, if the libraries the demos refer to are in the same location, they are never re-downloaded. So I guess it makes sense to use the libraries at xith3d.dev.java.net/webstart/ since people who check out any Xith demo using it, dont need to redownload it.
