RE: applet-servlet as view component

["Jesse Alexander (KADA 11)" <al...@csfs.com>]

Hi,

what you propose (A -> AS -> A -> JSP) is like calling the JSP from 
another JSP directly (not something that is encouraged...).

Consider the ActionServlet/Action/JSP like a little black box. This would 
create this picture:

Applet -> ActionServlet/Action -> Applet (for Applet-internal requests).
Then when you want to get out of the applet you will need to replace
the applet's browser content with the output of this:
Applet -> ActionServlet/Action/JSP.

Is this what you are looking for?

If the problem is just to replace the browser-content (of the applet) with
the result of the AS/A/JSP-blackbox consider this (untested) code-snippet:

(in the applet):
String newUrl = "/myApp/do/AfterAppletJSP"; //just any url...
getAppletContext().showDocument(newUrl);

If you want to open a JSP-produced page in a new browser-window from within
the applet:
String newUrl = "/myApp/do/AfterAppletJSP"; //just any url...
String windowName = "__popupWindow__";
getAppletContext().showDocument(newUrl,windowName);

hope this helps
Alexander

Subject: applet-servlet as view component


Hi,

I'm trying to build a web-based application using struts. This application 
uses applet and/or jsp to display information.

I manage to create an applet to connect (URL.openConnection) to Action 
Servlet in Struts and get back data in string (using DataInputStream). But I 
still not sure how to achieve the following:

Applet --> Action Servlet -->Applet--->jsp(with data)
After the applet is done, I would like to flow to the next JSP using 
ActionForm. I do that all the time with JSP but I sure how to do with Applet 
if Applet have not concept of Context.
I wonder is it probable to make use ActionForm in Applet.
It will be nice if someone can give me some sample coding to understand the 
whole process.

Thanks

Fanny
