What do you base this comment on? We use applet to servlet communications
as the basis for the system we wrote. It works just fine in a wide variety
of broswer versions. The only problems I've had are:
1. Having to force a connect using URLConnection.connect() between writing
the output and reading the input.
2. You can't send a Vector to IE4, the classes are so old its version of
Vector
is not compatible.
3. Netscape and IE throw different exceptions if they can't connect to the
server.
4. The type of the object that Netscape returns from
URLConnection.openConnection()
is not HttpURLConnection or a subclass thereof.
5. Several minor UI glitches.
