java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)


I have an applet bundled into a JAR file and running in the plugin.

I have .properties files used by the application included within the JAR.

When I query the ResourceBundle I get multiple requests to the web server

File does not exist: .../LogIn_en.class
File does not exist: .../LogIn_en.properties
File does not exist: .../LogIn_en_US.class
File does not exist: .../LogIn_en_US.properties
...
..
.

before the acrual LogIn.properties file is correctly found.

I realise that the correct locale is correctly being sought, but why is it
making all these additional requests to the *web server* after searching the
JAR file.

Is there a way to limit the search to the JAR file and nowhere else?

I have a *very* irate web administrator who is getting *thousands* of "File
does not exist" error messages in his web server (apache) log file. Thus making
real error messages hard to track down.

Please help.
Thanks very much.
