Pack200

Pack200, Applets and Java Plug-in

The following URL covers using pack200 compression in Java 1.5: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/pack200.html.

However, the sample servlet from that page had to be modified for use with the Java Plug-in.

Revised partial doGet()

 /** Called when someone accesses the servlet. */
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, 
                HttpServletResponse response)
