Hi,
The traditional approaches for an applet and server to communicate are
1. Applet invokes CGI program on http server
2. Applet establishes socket connection to a not http or http server to
communicate(here any custom protocol can be aggreed upon between applet &
the server application).
Now with the introduction of JDK1.1 & servlets, applets can communicate
with servlets using preferred method of object serialization(which solves
most of the data formatting problems).
The type 2 communication i.e socket one is bidirectional but the type 1 is
not(by default). I have read that we can simulate bidirectional
communication using applet-http-cgi combination. How can this be done ?
Although my problem involves no servlet programming, but it seems that this
problem is interesting.
