If I understand what you are trying to do correctly you could try the
getServletContext().getPath( your_URL )
or
getServletContext().getURL( your_path )
inside your servlet code to translate what you send from the applet. (check
the servlet API for exact calls as I don't have it in front of me at the
moment).
