		private JPanel pane1 = new JPanel();
		private JPanel pane2 = new JPanel();
		private JButton but1 = new JButton("Ok");
	
public void init() 

	{
	pane1.add(tf);
	pane1.add(lb);
	pane1.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));
	pane2.add(but1);
	getContentPane().add(pane1, BorderLayout.NORTH);

what i needed is to use the value of that text field in a jsp page.

What does that mean? Which JSP page? Where does it get displayed? From which server is it served? How would it make use of that value?

[adeeb alexander]

Actually i am running this jsp at my local machine using tomcat6.0. I know how to get the parameters from html through jsp i.e by using the getParameter() method. But what should i do when i use an applet as the gui. I am going for a applets becaus of its look and feel. Is it the other way to get the same look and feel, if yes then How. Can you please just explain.

If you want to use a value in an JSP, then you have to send an HTTP request to the server which will invoke that JSP and which contains the value as a parameter.

"vidh mann", please, PLEASE!, don't post in all uppercase letters. It's considered shouting, and thus rude, all over the 'net: KeepItDown. It's also unnecessarily hard to read.

Have you read the Sun Java Tutorial chapter about the applet tag? http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/applet/html.html
