Thanks Neil.  

I will dig deeper in the Manual to see if I downsize the Java packages.  The
error message was "an unclassified  SSL error occurred.  [error code: Socket
read failed]"

You can "tune" this slightly, by only including the Java packages you
want to use.

Didn't find any attached error - but along with my other comment above,
is the SSL/TLS Java package being included in the Java client you are
deploying?

Trim the packages deployed.

Otherwise will depend on local Java support - but I'm not aware of
anything specifically here that would achieve this sort of caching.

I have worked with other Java packages that did inlcude this sort of
thing, but some of this was a feature of the local Java implementation,
and also a feature of how the app was used.

Depends on ICA client options for NFuse. Also very much depends on
client OS, browser version, and capabilities.

There is support for local text echo - but I'm not so sure this will
ease this.
