I think, if applet is 'yours', you must establish proper communication
protocol between your-applet and your-servlet. This will keep from other
applets to connect to your servlet. One important concept you can incorporate
is, when you are sending data from applet to servlet, try to put applet's
site's URL in that (using getDocumentBase() or anything like that). This
mechanism will not be know to other applet developers outside, so, you have a
bit of safety. I believe there is no specific java-function in existence till
date to authenticate applet requests. Let me know if you find something
useful in this area.
