Webcam display on webpage using applet

Question

Hello,
I am trying to write a simple applet to work as streaming webcam view on remote machine. I am supposed to show webcam view of my webcam server to others on internet using browser. So peridoically, I am saving webcam view in one file. So, a new view will overwrite the old view. And when the remote user opens link in webpage, embedded applet will load that image. Ideally this should make effect of streaming of webcam view. I am using following code for the same. But I am not able to achieve the desired effect. Can any one tell me what is wrong? Or else, if someone knows of better idea, please illuminate me.
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class FirstApplet extends Applet {
Image image;
public void init() {
// Load image/
image = getImage(urlofserver , "webcam.jpg"); } //
public void start() {
image = getImage(urlofserver ,"webcam.jpg"); }
public void paint(Graphics g) {
// Draw image
image = getImage(urlofserver ,"webcam.jpg"); }
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);
// image.flush(); // if i flush the image, nothing is shown on web page
fun();
public void fun(){
try
Thread.sleep( 1000 );
catch ( InterruptedException ie )
repaint();
}

Try the following...
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class FirstApplet extends Applet {
Image image;
public void init() {
public void start() {
  Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
       while (true) {
       Thread.sleep( 1000 );
        repaint();
public void paint(Graphics g) {
// Draw image
image = getImage(urlofserver ,"webcam.jpg"); }
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);
// image.flush(); // if i flush the image, nothing is shown on web page
}
