It sounds as though your applet is not saving/returning the session id
to the server. When an applet (or any application other than the
browser) is the client, then the applet is responsible for reading the
session-id cookie sent by the servlet container, and returning the
session id when it next connects to the server. Information on session
tracking is in the archives.
You can also look at the example here: http://pages.about.com/kmukhar. I
wrote the example more to show applet-servlet communication, but the
applet code shows an applet sending a cookie to the server. For session
tracking, you do not need to send or read the cookie from the servlet,
that is handled by the servlet container.
