JavaServlets and Applet communication!

Posted by Anu on May 25, 2001 at 12:43 PM

Hi All,

I have problems with making my applet communicate with the servlet.
Here is the directory structure:

jsdk2.1
|_ startserver ( web server )
|
___V________________
| |
| |
| |
/examples /webpages
| |__applet.html
| |__index.html
/WEB-INF |
|
|
/servlets
|__appletEg.class
|__RetFileServlet.class
|__appletServlet.class
|

In the applet.html file, I am loading the applet ,appletEg.class.
appletEg.class connects to the URL http:/localhost:8080/examples/servlet/RetFileServlet
and retrieves the information it gives and shows it in the applet.
In the applet.html
I have this,


This works fine when I run
%appletviewer applet.html

But when I try to see the applet in the browser,
it gives me an error: Applet appletEg can't start:ERROR.

But for my project which is web application I should be able to see it
in the browser.
I need help ASAP, Its my project work and I dont know
whats the problem. Am an amatuer.
Could anybody help me with this!

Thanks in advance
Anu
