No communication between applet - servlet

Question

hi
my applet and my servlet is not at all communicating in the browser.
          any body knows how to solve this problem?
          in my applet code:Jus i am pasing as name string to invoke the serlvet via URL
          String location = "http://ctp-vi0275:8880/HandlePassword?"+"Name=XXX";
          URL testServlet = new URL( location );
          URLConnection servletConnection = testServlet.openConnection();
          servletConnection.setDoInput(true);
          servletConnection.setDoOutput(true);
          servletConnection.setUseCaches (false);
          servletConnection.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
          servletConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
          servletConnection.connect();
          i have changed server.xml file to listen the port number 8880.(in tomcat)
          in my servlet code:
          doGet Method in servlet
          String str = req.getParameter("Name");          
          System.out.println(str);
          here i am jus printing the name
          but when i run my applet is not at all invoking the serlvet - HandlePassword.I have placed the
          servlet in ROOT\web-inf\classes\HandlePassword
          in web.xml
          <web-app>
          <servlet>
          <servlet-name>HandlePassword</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>HandlePassword</servlet-class>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>HandlePassword</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/HandlePassword</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          </web-app>
          where i am doing wrong here?

You do following things and let me know:
1. Does the servlet work when you type "http://ctp-vi0275:8880/HandlePassword?Name=XXX" in your browser?
2. Run applet using appletviewer. Does it work?
3. If it works using appletviewer then enable java console in your browser and see error stacks if any.
4. If there are applet security errors on java console, try creating servlet URL in applet code by calling getDocumentRoot() method and see what happens.
