If I understand you correctly I think I must say a servlet get's initialized once, when it's loaded (by the classloader), and then only again if it's changed. A servlets runtime is within the scope of one request, so if you want to execute the same servlet twice, first to set member variables then with an applet and read from the member variables, I cannot see how it could be achived, exept maybe by using alternative methods, such as keeping the variables in servlet context, but not as member variables in the servlet.
