No. There are two things that will not work.
One thing you cannot do (which was the basis for the original question) is use client
IP addresses for accurate session management. You will need to use either cookies or
URL rewriting for this purpose.
Another thing you cannot do across the Internet to clients behind firewalls is
establish a TCP connection from the server to the client applet -- it needs to be
created in the other direction. The applet will use
whatever mechanism has been configured on the client PC to reach the internet
(including using your browser's proxy settings if you try to do an HTTP connection).
As long as you connect *from* the applet *to* the server that the applet came from
(or, for signed applets, to any allowed server), and use either cookies or URL
rewriting for session management, applet-servlet
communication should work fine.
