Details on using URL's are in the Java Tutorial's "Custom Networking" section: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking You might also look into using a relatively clean RPC over HTTP mechanism like XML-RPC: http://www.xmlrpc.com/ http://xml.apache.org/xmlrpc/ Or, if you're a glutton for over-complexified (but buzzword compliant) punishment: SOAP. (google for it). Both SOAP and XML-RPC have implementations that work through servlets. But plain old HTTP works pretty well, so don't feel obliged to make it any more complicated than it needs to be. The idea would be to just write your application with a GUI using Swing, and have it talk to the server using a URLConnection (or and XML-RPC client library, or SOAP, or whatever) -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
