Scott, Thanks for the advice. I created a servlet to handle my web service requests, and it works perfectly! What an education for a Microsoft geek...
Incidentally, does anyone know if Javadoc should work for applets and servlets? I am getting a java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.zip.ZipFile.getInputStream() when I run it. The only common denominator I notice is that it only happens on applets and servlets, but not with applications.
