Writing files on server with Applet

[Vincent Oh]

Hi guys,

I know that there are security issues with writing files directly to the web server using Applets. However, it seems that it is possible to send a request to the server to tell the server to write the file on its own.

Does anyone have experience in doing such? I need some help.

Main idea of what I need to do is:

1) My applet allow users to create some diagrams and save it to the server.

Can I use servlets to handle the request sent by Applet? If yes, how do I go about doing it. If no, any other ways to do it?

Thanks in advance =D

Yes you can use servlets to handle such things. Just upload the content using HTTP POST by using URLConnection
Go through this http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/urls/readingWriting.html
An on the server side, write a Servlet to handle the data
