Look at using the URLConnection classes. You will need these to post your data. You may want to try using JHTTP 1.1 at http://www.jscape.com Handles most all HTTP related functionality.

Inside the Applet, u instantiate a URL object by passing the url of the servlet which is going to handle the request as a parameter. Invoke a method called open request on the URL object which would give u URLConnection Object. Using connection object, get input & output streams and then write into the stream the datas which u want to pass to the servlet.
I would give u the code (frame work)
URL url = new URL("servlet url");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
OutputStream out = con.getOutputStream();
out.write("date to be sent");
Does this clears ur doubt?

Hi,
Applet to servlet communication is a great way (and more pure Java) to reproduce 2 components of the model-view-controller.
Take a look at the following article for a good overview, with code, on how to do it.
I won't repeat it by writing any more here!

Good luck
