Applet that calls servlet

Question

How to achieve something like this: i ve got a simple applet that calls servlet or JSp. when i get the response i would like to show it like a new page canceling the previous one with applet. Please Help. I have no idea how to using the data from response produce a new page. Nay resources hints??

Answer 1

In the second case:
You want to use the URL and URLConnection to POST or GET information to the server
that the applet came from (if not you have to sign the applet or set up policy).
The response from the server should be opened in a new window.
To post the data:
http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.net/Post.html
This will get you a string, after you got that string you can use JSObject to call a javascript
method.
for example your applet:
import netscape.javascript.*; // either in jaws.jar or plugin.jar in your lib dir
..... extends Applet{
public Sting newpage;
... method that opens URLConnection and receives response in strRes
this.newpage = strRes
JSObject win;
win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
win.eval("methodThatOpensWindow()");
The html page looks like
<object ...... id="myapplet" myascript="true">
function methodThatOpensWindow(){
var win = window.open('','','');
win.document.write(document.getElementById("myapplet").newpage);
...
