Hi all,

Does the following code, which gets a class from a remote server, caches the class on the client machine?

URL u = new URL("http://1.2.3.4:80/JavaClasses/MainClass.class");

InputStream input = u.openStream();

DataInputStream data = new DataInputStream(input);

byte classBytes[] = downloadByteCodesFromURL(data);

Class c = defineClass("MainClass", classBytes, 0, classBytes.length);

//////////////////////////

public static byte[] downloadByteCodesFromURL( DataInputStream in) {

  ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

  while (true) {

         try {

               outStream.write(in.readByte());

         }

         catch (IOException e) {

                break;

         }

  }

  return outStream.toByteArray();

}

Thank you
