applets download jars on each reload of the containing html page irrespective
of the cache_version attribute. the versioning and caching mechanism seems to
work in that the right versions of the jars are actually used but the jars are
still downloaded each time, which can be seen in the http server log files.
there is a GET request entry for each jar. below is the used embed tag from the
containing html page. we use netscape 4.72 and a valid thawte netscape object
signing cert for signing the applet jar.
