Stuart I am using an HTTP Tunneling protocol (for serialized Java objects) to handle
communication from my servlets back to my
applet front ends and it works great... I designed my applets to maintain state
information and send this along with a request for
new data, from it's associated servlet, at regular intervals (which is settable by the
applet user for periods up to several minutes
between requests) and the connection "appears" to stay open for as long as the
applet/browser is running.... If you want a good
source of info on how to set up a applet/servlet pair that uses HTTP tunneling
protocols, get a copy of Core Servlets and Java
Server Pages by Marty Hall and published by Sun Microsystems.... He has a very good
example of how to set these up....
