Connection to server Problem with JWS

Question

Hi All
I have an applet client and a server side. when i lunch the applet with Appletviewer or from its Web page, the connection between the server and the client applet works well. I have successfully lunched it with Java Web Start, BUT the server side does not see the Client applet, and then there is no connection between both of them. I have
utilized Java Socket to establish the connection. I hope anybody can help me
Thank you

Answer 1

Firstly, which has the server socket, the applet or the server application?
Secondly, are there any exceptions thrown by the client application? If it's a server socket, then presumably the call to accept() fails, or if it's a client socket, then presumably the connect() fails? Anyway, a stack trace would be useful.
If the applet starts a server socket, then you should be able to check using
'netstat -a' that the port is being listened on. But the stack trace is the best bet.
