I think you wouldn't even need an applet, rather do all the Java calls from with in 
JavaScript.

So instead of writing an applet, inserting it, and calling 
document.loadapplet.whatever(), we can create a JavaScript object which does stuff 
like this:

function JavaLoad(url) {
   reader = new java.util.FileReader(url);
   reader.readLine();
   ....
   // I don't remember the code offhand
}

Only problem with this, is that you'd first have do a check to see if java's installed 
and if not halt the page and display a warning.  A lot of people (including myself) 
usually browse with Java turned off to avoid those bastard applets that hog all your 
resources :).
