Should I use Java 2 Runtime Environ. or Should I use 1.1 Java Components in my Applet

[Jasmin]

Hi
Should I use Java 2 Runtime Enironment so I can support Swing components
or can I do the same functionality as far as JDBC:ODBC and SQL ....with
for example 1.1.7 JDK ?
The problem occured when I developed an JApplet which had the following criterias:
1) it connects to the data source
2) depending what you enter as Refresh rate.. I refresh your TextArea with
new data from DB

It is fairly simple for my first project but I realized that after I create
JAR an after I uploaded HTML,JAR and all classes on my Web Server .. adn
after I tested the applet on other clients .. well it takes at least 3-4
minutes to load entire JAR and then it runs....

See the problem ?

Thank you for any response that might help me.

Do not tell me that you are not using java plug-in

hi,
If you connect database using an applet it will be real slow as compared
to asp or any other language , but only for initialising the applet, and
later (after applet is initialised )it will be more effective.
Thats why jdbc is not that popular. But I am waiting for Higher Band Width,
lets wait for it.
This is the only solution i have presently.
