I'd suppose you have two options. 1. Let the applet communicate with the server. Preferably use the java.net.Url. It has a useful openStream(), otherwise see JavaDoc. The applet will maintain the session that the page it exists on has. We used an approach like this until we started to use IE specific ActiveX components instead.
2. When you switch tab, let a JavaScript read the state from the applet (the name of the applet gives you access to its public methods) and post that info to the server. > -----Original Message----- > From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Wesley Choate > Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 5:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: JSP with Applet Question > > > Hmm, that sounds like an interesting idea.
