Re: Dev/2000 Applet generation questions.

Jason,
From what I learned so far about running Forms on the Web, the form executes on the forms server, while the client only runs a small Java applet that manages the GUI interface to your form. Initially a subset of the Java classes are downloaded to your browser, with additional classes loaded when required, say when an LOV is activated. This will cause a delay the first time, but subsequent uses of the LOV will already have the appropriate classes available on the client. I think you can specify that all the classes load upon initilization of the form, taking the overhead hit up front. Since none of the Form application code is processed locally, every action on the client requires a trip to the forms server (and possibly the database server) and back for the result. You might have to re-think your application to minimize this traffic, particulary with mouse triggers (enter, leave, etc.)
