Answer 1

thats what i thought about the way to write to the files, but i believe that i'm having troubles actually getting to the servlet code.
here is what i have so far...
//*********applet***********/
try
URL baseURL = getCodeBase();
String protocol = baseURL.getProtocol();
String host = baseURL.getHost();
int port = 808;
String urlSuffix = "/servlet/contactlist.servletOne";
URL url = new URL(protocol, host, port, urlSuffix);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
// inform the connection that we will send output and accept input
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
// Don't use a cached version of URL connection.
conn.setUseCaches (false);
conn.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
InputStream inputStreamFromServlet = conn.getInputStream();
inputStreamFromServlet.read();
inputStreamFromServlet.close();
System.out.println("testing for the end8");
catch(IOException io) { io.printStackTrace(); }
//********servlet***********/
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
System.out.println("get");
try
FileWriter f = new FileWriter("G:\\Intranet\\wwwroot\\Contact\\contactlist\\Departments\\test.htm");
f.write("testing");
f.flush();
f.close();
catch(IOException io) { io.printStackTrace(); }
i've never been able to see the "get" in the log.
