Where do Java applets live?

I am trying to figure out where the java applets that I launch from the browser are loading. I am using Firefox 3.0 on Windows XP with Java 1.6, if that matters.

From the Java control panel in the toolbar, I can access the "Temporary Internet Files -> Settings" to find the Java cache. From there, I can show resources and see a file called "dws2010066.dat". Does this resource correspond to a file on disk? I did a search in the Java cache (and my entire computer), but came up empty-handed.

I remember a recent SO answer that mentioned that Windows does smart things to trick real file names and the locations of temporary Internet files. I believe that this is an attempt to complicate the life of malware. This explains why the file is not displayed in the search.

As @leonm says, if you just want to get the applet JAR file, why not just read the HTML file, find the link to the applet and download it using wget or an equivalent tool.

If you are interested in a code algorithm that is clearly not available, contact the author of the applet.

Please be careful, since decompilation for copying algorithms is usually covered by copyright and other laws.
