Combining Applets and Struts

Question

I am trying to make an application in which an applet tries to communicate with the server via Struts.
I know that the request is being made because I printed a few messages with the parameters in my ActionForm class and they were correct. Nevertheless I can't seem to get the execute method in my Action class to work (nothing I print or do in there can be seen). This is what I'm doing:
Client:
DataOutputStream printout = new DataOutputStream (urlConnection.getOutputStream());
printout.writeBytes(content);
printout.flush();
printout.close();
ActionForm:
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
return null; // I don't want it to validate right now
Action:
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
System.out.println("I am executing");
try{
ServletOutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
new DataOutputStream(outputStream).writeBytes("My response");
}catch(IOException e){}
return null; //no forward required, just the reply
struts-config:
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="loginForm"
type="project.agency.form.LoginForm"/>
</form-beans>
<action path="/Legim" type="project.action.LegimAction"
name="loginForm" validate="true" scope="request">
</action>
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

you can't put applet classes in WEB-INF.
They have to be in a public directory, and the WEB-INF directory isn't public.
