IO13497: Network server activity requesting GIF and property file

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the applet viewer is loading, network requests are made for
  each image icon and message resource file. This causes slower
  performance for loading the viewer applet for rendering any
  document.
  

Local fix

• As a workaround for the gif files, the following can be added
  to the properties file:

Problem summary

• When an applet is loaded using the Java Viewer Toolkit to view a
  document, there will be a delay as unnecessary requests are made
  to the server for resources.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Java Viewer Toolkit has been changed to correctly request
  GIF and property file resources to avoid unnecessary requests to
  the network.
  

Temporary fix
