Another reply to this message will tell you to check the FAQ for the
specifics of Applet/Servlet connection, however I think the topic of
Applet/Servlet in general is worth a quick note.
I built an Applet to Servlet application, went into beta, then rewrote it as
Servlet to HTML. I did so because my clients were going to be on many OS's
and browsers, and because the client interface was very complex. Using
Applet/Servlet is difficult - you have to account both the server-side and
the client-side. Dealing with client side configuration is not trivial. You
must understand the pros and cons of AWT vs. Swing Applets. Understanding
Java on the server is one thing, understanding Java GUI development is
another - you have to know both.
If you are using the Applet on a controlled network where you can garauntee
the client machine's configuration and capabilities - and you have a
compelling reason to use Applets - then an Applet may be the way to go. Even
better if your Applet will be simple.
You should strongly consider your needs before taking on Applet/Servlet. I'm
sure some others on this list can tell you more.
