Sandy,
Applet CAN call servlet/Jsp. The trick is using URL class. The following code is an applet which has a comboBox filled by city names provided by servlet.
Hope this helps
Jeff
private void Get_Information_From_Sever(String tableName) throws MalformedURLException, IOException
{
URL url = new URL( "http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/info_feed?table=" + tableName);
//?table=" + tableName);
URLConnection con= url.openConnection();
con.setUseCaches(false);
InputStream in = con.getInputStream();
DataInputStream textStream;
textStream = new DataInputStream(in);
String strLine = textStream.readLine();
// test only
//strLine = " *Beijing*Berlin*Chicago*New York*Paris*London*";
LoadtoComboBox(strLine, "*", choice_1);
}
private void LoadtoComboBox(String strInput, String strSeperator,java.awt.Choice choiceBox)
{
String strTemp ;
String strHold;
String strNeed;
strHold = strInput;
int pos = strHold.indexOf( strSeperator );
while (pos !=-1)
{
strNeed = strHold.substring(0, pos);
strHold = strHold.substring(pos+1);
pos = strHold.indexOf( strSeperator );
choiceBox.addItem( strNeed );
}
}
