#2648 — Applets and custom class

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Is there any reason to use a custom class loader with an applet?  I have an 
applet in which I only want to load a particular class if the corresponding 
content type is required to be rendered by that applet so that the initial 
applet load is as quick as possible.  I have considered using a custom class 
loader whereby the applet would start a new thread in the init() method 
which invokes this loader to download a XYZContentRenderer class in the 
background for example.  But then I thought that I still need to cast the 
resulting class to XYZContentRenderer so that reference to 
XYZContentRenderer in the casting would already cause this class to be 
loaded when the applet is loaded.

So therefore I see no benefit from using a custom class loader with an 
applet.  Is this correct?  Is there any other way I can achieve what I am 
trying to do here?

JWS is not an option - I need something that runs *in* a browser.
