Specifying an Alternate Distribution Method

The com.unisys.util.ComponentFetcher class controls the downloading of files. You can replace this class with one of your own to specify an alternate distribution method.

  1. Open the LINCApplet.jar or LINCViewer.jar file.

  2. Extract the com.unisys.util.ComponentFetcher.java file.

  3. Modify this file to specify the desired download method. You must keep the function names and their parameters the same, otherwise runtime errors occur.

  4. Compile the class.

  5. Replace the com.unisys.util.ComponentFetcher.class file in the .jar file.

    You must replace this file in both LINCApplet.jar and LINCViewer.jar files, especially where both files exist on the same machine. The class file must also be replaced in all IC updates and upgrades prior to distribution to your customers.
