Sorry if this is too simple and I should have looked elsewhere (URLs are as acceptable as an explanation!) but I am writing an applet that communicates with a Servlet. All I want to do is get the simplest version of this to work so that I can see it work and (hopefully :-O ) develop it further. The problem is that it seems there is a different way to communicate with Applets that Applications. Can someone explain each of the steps? I need some kind of help here for this, I'm going insane! Anyone that has the time to talk me through the stages and give me an understanding of what each stage does would be much appreciated. I have at present: A Servlet file, A Remote interface with the methods that the Client can call on the Servlet, A Client file A Package file (used for the passing of objects, since Applets need to get round the usual way by doing this apparently). Anyway- from what I understand, and I realise that there may not be enough info here for you to help, but I compile the Servlet and the Remote Interface and the Package, then rmic the Server to generate the stubs and skeleton classes, then start servlet runner compile the Applet and run it, and all should run well, but I get an error in the Servlet file that there is no main method... but none of my examples have one. Is there a different protocol for Applets? Am I doing something blindingly wrong? Sun's Java page covers Servlets but seems to go into why you can use them and then into them working, with little on the start up. Please save me!
