Actually, combining these two is often easiest (of course, your java Object
must implement Serializable for this to work). Something like (Applet
code):
URL servlet = new URL(getDocumentBase(), "/path/to/my/servlet");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)servlet.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setHeaderField("Content-Type", "application/x-java");
ObjectOutputStream out = new
ObjectOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
out.writeObject(myObject);
int status = conn.getResponseCode();
if(isOK(status)) {
InputStream in = conn.getInputStream();
// Handle response here.
