I am trying to access a servlet through an applet. In the applet I am using URL Connection object and opening a connection to the servlet. My URL in the connection object is http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/DbServlet and I have kept my DbServlet class in the D:\Tomcat\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\DbServlet.class. I am using tomcat 1.2. Still when I use the Applet in an html page I get the following error java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/DbServlet Can anyone help me out..... import java.applet.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.io.*; import java.net.*; public class DbApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener { TextField tfQuery; TextArea taResults; Button btnExecute; public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) { executeQuery(); } public void executeQuery() { String qryString = tfQuery.getText(); try{ URL url = new URL(http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/DbServlet); String qry = URLEncoder.encode("qry")+"="+ URLEncoder.encode(qryString); URLConnection uc = url.openConnection(); uc.setDoOutput(true); uc.setDoInput(true); uc.setUseCaches(false); uc.setRequestProperty("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(uc.getOutputStream()); dos.writeBytes(qry); dos.flush(); dos.close(); InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream()); int chr = in.read(); while (chr!= -1) { taResults.append(String.valueOf((char) chr)); chr = in.read(); } in.close(); } catch(MalformedURLException e){ taResults.setText(e.toString()); } catch(IOException e){ taResults.setText(e.toString()); } } public void init() { super.init(); // insert code to initialize the applet here Panel p1 =new Panel(); p1.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT)); p1.add (new Label("QueryString:")); tfQuery = new TextField("",50); p1.add(tfQuery); btnExecute = new Button ("Execute Query"); btnExecute.addActionListener(this); p1.add(btnExecute); add("North",p1); taResults = new TextArea(10,80); add("Center",taResults); } } Haroon Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
