Applet calling Servlet - Servlet does not load

[Dave Donohoe]

I have an Applet that calls a Servlet like so -
String tmp_szServletLocation = "http://localhost:8080/App/TheServlet";

URL tmp_urlServlet = new URL(tmp_szServletLocation);
URLConnection tmp_urlCon = tmp_urlServlet.openConnection();
tmp_urlCon.setUseCaches (false);
tmp_urlCon.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
ObjectInputStream inputFromServlet = new ObjectInputStream(tmp_urlCon.getInputStream());

I know it goes into the Servlet, as I have Debug Statments within the service method.
BUT, the onload() method in the Servlet never gets triggered.....
ANY ideas please?

With that URL, the doGet method in the servlet should be called. What is this onload() method and why do you expect it to be called?
