Hi Simon,
Yes, you can get rid of the socket.You will have to use HTTP Tunnelling, which means you are opening URLConnection, and passing the data using the HTTP Protocol.This is frequently used when you want your
Applet client to communicate with the servlet or any other server-side components via servlets.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
