Applet doesn't invoke Servlet?

Question

I've developed an applet using awt and jdk1.1.8. It has been signed with a
*.cab file and deployed on 1 webserver (not using the plug-in). Using IE 5.5
the applet has 'full permissions' and can successful print, etc..
The applet has a 'submit' button that sends does the equivalent of a form
post to a servlet on different server that's running WebLogic 5.1. The
applet does not accept a response from the servlet. As mentioned, my applet
is signed so I should be able to make this connection to a different server.
Upon testing this my applet is not throwing any socketpermission exceptions
or exceptions of any kind; however, in watching my WebLogic console - the
servlet never appears to get called. My servlet has the following code:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
doGet(req, res);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println("1");
System.out.println("2");
...do other stuff...
So, I should be seeing 1,2,3.. being printed out to my WebLogic console -
or - an exception. But rather than seeing any of this I'm not seeing
anything being printed to the console. The servlet is deployed correctly as
I can call the servlet from my browser without any problem to see my 1,2,
and 3s get printed. Running the Applet directly from JBuilder I get the
below documented plug-in error printed to my weblogic console.
Thu Dec 28 13:01:00 CST 2000:<W> <ListenThread> Connection rejected: 'Login
timed out after: '5000' ms on socket: .......
Which really doesn't concern me.. but it does make me feel confident with my
applet is opening / using the url connection correctly.
Any ideas on what might be the cause, or maybe some troubleshooting
recommendations? Perhaps I'm missing something in one of weblogic's
properties files? The Applet's and the Servlet's code all appears to be
good. I'm thinking that this is probably something pretty simple or common
for folks with applet-to-servlet communication experience.
Thanks

With my limited understanding of applets it is probably the uploading of the file thats your problem. Unfortunately with JCreator, it often ignores the sandbox that are used with Netscape and IE. Im not the one to solve the problem for you but Im guessing thats it, if someone else wants to chime in and give him a solution.
