HI I just want to know if you have an applet that communicates with a servlet , what do you need on your server to make it work, we have an apache web server, will it work on it or not?

You can install the Tomcat servlet engine with Apache and it should work. Somewhere around Javaranch is some example code for transmitting a serialized object between applet and servlet.

Apache doesn't process J2EE directly - you configure it to pass JSP and servlet requests to Tomcat (or whatever J2EE server you like). There's a Tomcat-Apache HOWTO at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-apache-howto.html. The simplest of the several ways to do is is via mod_jk and the ajp13 connector - for me, anyway.
The magic word to look for to get a client-side applet to talk to a server is "URLConnection".

Education won't help those who are proudly and willfully ignorant. They'll literally rather die before changing.

Look! I laid an egg! Why does it smell like that? Tiny ad, does this smell weird to you?
