Ultra Light Client Guide and Reference

How much code is downloaded when connecting to a ULC application?

The typical mode for running ULC applications is where the UI Engine is run as a client on the users machine and the ULC application is running on an application server. In this mode the primary concern for the user will be how much code needs to be downloaded to his machine before a connection to an ULC application is made. Assuming that the user has installed the Swing classes locally on his machine (this is a one time installation process) then the only code that needs to be downloaded is the UI Engine. The UI Engine is packaged as a single .jar file and is approximately 440KB in size which allows even slow modem connections to perform satisfactorily.
