Embed a socket in applet

I want to embed a socket in an applet so that when I write a string from the other socket(this socket suppose to be an application not applet) which connect with the applet socket,the string can be print on the applet webpage.
can anyone tell me how to make it?
Thanks

You can create (if local web browser security allows) a socket connection between the applet and the server from which the applet came from.
This means that an applet from www.my-applet.com can only create socket connections to www.my-applet.com and not www.give-me-a-virus.com
Basics: My applet is on www.my-applet.com and I have a server that gives a message to my applet (such as news headlines or stock info) listening on port 1234.
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
Socket myconnection = new Socket("www.my-applet.com", 1234);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(myconnection.getInputStream());
String messageForApplet = in.readLine();
appletLabel.setText(messageForApplet);
repaint();
in.close();
myconnection.close();Now, this code will throw an IOException that needs to be caught.

Sockets in Applet

Hello,
Is it possible to connect to another web-server in Java Applet via sockets?
Best Regards, Dmitry.

and is it possible to do with JSP?

How to use sockets in applets?

hi,
i wrote the following applet:
http://spidey.bei.t-online.de/rest/java/jtv/jTV.html
its a little applet which asks tvtoday.de for the movies which are running on the channels/time and day you specified and puts them into the table
as a normal java application everything works fine
but as an applet i always get an exception that im not allow to open sockets to tvtoday.de
how comes? and is there a way to fix that?
thx

Applets are only allowed to create sockets back to the host that they originally came from. This is a security measure - otherwise, a trojan horse applet could be downloaded through a firewall, then open connections and do malicious things to hosts that were supposed to be protected by the firewall.
I am not sure if there is a way the solve this. Perhaps you could sign your applet and let java pop up a "Let this applet open sockets elsewhere?" window (similar to what java web start can do), but I personally don't know of such a system.

Working with sockets with applets

Hello, I am working in my account on a web server, and I am trying to develop a chat using applets. My program works great on the command line, but the applets cannot create a socket because of a SocketPermission problem. I have read about this problem a lot, and I found that applets will only create a socket with the server the applet originates from. I have still not had any success in allowing my applet to create a socket to connect to a server.
I would appreciate any advice concerning this problem!
Thanks so much!
Christina

If you are calling the HTML page containing the Applet as http://localhost then the Applet has to open a socket back to local host.
Make sure you call the applet using the full ip address of the where the web server is running. This should match the socket ip address you are trying to open inside the Applet.

Simple server/client socket in applets code.

Can anyone please help me with Java sockets ? I want to create an applet that simply checks if it's still online. This means that i'll be using this applet thru modem(that is, dial-up connection). All i want the applet to do is send a signal to the server and the server answer back that it is still online. The server should be able to handle multiple sends and receives. I need just a simple code for me to work on (both server and client). The client doesn't have to send any special message to the server and vice versa.
Thanks.

Below is the code for both Applet and Servlet .I think this will solve your problem.
Applet:

               URLConn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
               URLConn.setDoInput(false);

Using sockets with Applet

Hey,
I have a website which has an applet on one of the pages. I put in code that uses a socket to connect to MY computer. ( i want to use my computer as a server which stores data/accounts/etc) A SecurityException was thrown when I tested the applet. Is what I'm trying to do possible? or does something like this have to connect to a server which is on my website?
Thanks

I believe you can run something like this by signing the applet.
And then the user has the option of allowing or disallowing a signed applet to do that kind of thing. I don't know which is the default.

SSL Sockets and Applets

Overview: I need to make an Applet communicate with a server using an SSLSocket and I can't figure out how to include a truststore when running the applet in a web browser.
Background:
The applet communicates perfectly using regular non-secure sockets. I am now porting it to use secure sockets (SSLSocket, SSLServerSocket from JSSE).
The applet communicates perfectly using secure sockets when run in appletviewer with the truststore file in the classpath. I have specified the appropriate truststore properties in the Applet as follows:
     System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "truststore");
     System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "password");
This works when run using appletviewer when the "truststore" file is in the classpath, and now I need to make it work in a web browser.
Problem: How do I include the "truststore" file with an Applet?
I have tried including it in the .jar file, which seems conceptually similar to including it in the classpath, which worked with appletviewer. However, including it with the .jar file doesn't work. The exception I get is:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found
Any ideas on how I can include the truststore file or suggestions on another approach that will accomplish the same thing?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I'm in the same boat.
Thought I had a solution. I'm running an applet that opens an SSL socket back to the web server it came from
URL url = new URL("https://" + baseUrl);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
-then just open streams. Info related to this at
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/https.html
Essentially, I'm taking advantage of the SSL connection made during the initial web page/applet load ([SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 is what my HTTPS server wanted )
The down side is that GET/POST are the only actions supported (refer to the link).
I'm looking for a solution that specifies HOW I ACCESS my local browser's security so I don't get
j'avax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found'.
Hope someone replies...

Sockets in Applets

hi i am trying to open Socket in an Applet but i am not succesful kindly tell me any way or tell me any
alternative
i will be very thankful

you have to sign your applet before to open a Socket...
other: you just can open a connection to the server where the applet comes from.

Am I able to use Sockets in applets

I developed a server-client application in java using datagrams, and decided to try to convert the client application into an applet.
The problem was that the applet wouldn't run in a browser but it worked if I used javas appletviewer!
Tryed both JDK1.1.8 and JDK1.3.1!
Browser = IE5
Am I able to do any networking with browser at all?

My applet only connects to the server (and port) it was served from! But it still doesn't work... It works fine in an appletviewer but in a Browser I won't even get my GUI up :(
Hmmm... OK! I'll try to make a TCP connection from Applet to my server application, I've done it once before but as an application, the server then had to be multithreaded so it could work with multiple users simuntaniusly... the reason I switched over to datagram packages is that I could make the server single threaded!

My applet can access an image in Eclipse, but not when I put it online...

Basically, I have an applet that displays images among other things.
I stuck the images in the bin directory, and when I run the applet from Eclipse, there's no problem.
But when I put the applet on my webpage, it crashes with a NullPointerException because
image = ImageIO.read( new File( imageName ) ) can't seem to get the image.
The images are in the same directory as my class files. I tried turning on all permissions.
My html code is very simple:
<applet code="ImageGenerator.class" width=1000 height= 500> </applet>
Am I missing anything?
Any idea what the problem is?

Meteor,
Can you shed some light on how big these files are?
If these images are 200K each and you have 10 of them, then you're loading 2MB across the network each time the application loads. Depending on what you are doing, that may not be a good design.
If these slow-loading images are needed right away, then embed them with your applet (preferably a Jar) and they should load pretty fast.
If these slow-loading images are needed later, then thread the loading of them to a background task and use some form of visual feedback (like a "please wait" image) until they're finished.
Lastly, if these images are relatively small and you are experiencing a significant speed difference between accessing them locally (such as on the server's file system or through a mapped-drive) and accessing them through http (or url, etc) then make sure your web server is feeding them up in a timely fashion and that there's no outstanding issues with the URL loading method and the Java version you're using.
Please read Andrew's posts closely as you should not be designing an applet that loads files as a local resource unless you really need to. Signing the applet will allow you to save them locally to the filesystem (as a "cached" version to be loaded later), but don't try to load the images as files directly from the web server's file system. The signed applet will only be able to access the local file system of the station it's being run on, hence, usually not the server!
As far as caching the files locally, Java webstart has potentially a better ways of doing that sort of stuff for you.

How to run applet program in browser

I am new in the field. I have begun with some basic programming. I wish to know how do you run a java programme in browser. I have added the html tag in the .java file. can anyone kindly let me know. thanks

You don't add the tag to the .java file. You need a separate HTML document (such as a .html file, or a .jsp, etc.) that has the <applet> tag in it. (Also there's some stuff you can do with <object> and/or <embed>, apparently.) The applet tag tells the browser to load your applet.

Applet crossdomain timeout

Hi,
I getting some problems deploying an unsigned applet that use JavaScript integration and sockets, the applet is a chat client demo.
https://demo.zeroc.com/chat/applet/
I have added crossdomain.xml file
