I'm looking at JNLP to see if it's a better way to package an applet that saves data to a local file.
Does anyone have any data on what limits browsers (or JVM implementations?) place on the size of files you can create via the JNLP PersistenceService
? There doesn't seem to be any information readily available apart from the recommendation that a PersistenceService
implementation "provides methods to get the current storage usage and limits and to request more storage", but I can't find any such methods in the javadocs...
The FileContents
class has getMaxLength
and setMaxLength
methods but the descriptions of these are ambiguous and seem to imply (to me) that the client app can set the max length.
