Java applet cache parameter

Question

I'm sorry if that what I'm looking for is described elsewhere. I couldn't find it. I seem to have a bug with the latest Apple's java implementation (1.5) downloaded with the latest Software Update.
I have to switch off applet caching for a certain applet and tried to do this via the Java preference app. It seems that it doesn't work using the offered checkbox. Because everytime when I check it and leave the dialog and turn back it's still checked. I tried it with the deployment properties file but had no luck not knowing (finding) the correct parameter to set false.
As setting the cache size to zero didn't resolve the problem finally I tried to set the cache path to "/dev/zero" what for sure is the worst solution but it works out. Caching is disabled (This way I discovered that trying to write the cache path in the box in the preference pane you can write it only in reverse manner! llun/ved/ No, it's not a joke)
Anyone could tell me the right parameter for the deployment properties file that I can correct this situation?
Thanks

Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue. I have been doing a bit more looking and it appears I'm getting a null resource error on reload/refresh:
public abstract class SimpleWindow extends JInternalFram
   public SimpleWindow()
      initComponents();
public class FancyWindow extends SimpleWindow
   public FancyWindow()
      initComponents();
}During startup, it tries to create a new FancyWindow, which calls initComponents(). Inside initComponents is a call to create a JEditorPane.
The function runs fine, and I am able to create a new JEditorPane; however, when I do:
jedit.setText("Text Here");I get my null error (tracing through the calls, it looks like it's unable to initialize the editorkit.
This does not happen on a normal first-time load. It does not happen if I completely close the browser and restart it to re-run the applet, but if I just try to refresh it, it seemingly can't get memory for this?
Edit: It looks like this may be a regression in 1.6.0_22 and later: 1.6.0_22 HTMLEditorKit throws NullPointerException when reloaded
