cdn

We have a java application bundled as an applet or as webstart. The client java plugin caches the jar files on the client machine and downloads a new version if there is one.

Is it possible to deliver this jar files using a CDN? What are the issues involved? Which CDNs would work for jar delivery? Is this different from static content delivery like images or video?
