How to make a Java applet that can start another Java prg. used for socket communication?

Question

I want to design a Java applet that can start another Java program that will be used for socket based communication. I tried to make the communication with another applet but I’ve failed. So, I’ve got the idea of using a Java program for communication to be called from an applet. Is that possible. How? Any one can assist me?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried RMI or Ajax? sorry Please put more details

It is a little difficult to tell, but it sounds like you were originally trying to figure out how to have one applet call another applet. If so, here is how:

Each applet to be called needs to be named, e.g.


Then, the caller needs to get a reference to the callee:
Applet applet = getAppletContext().getApplet("register");
if (applet instanceof MyRegisterApplet){
MyRegisterApplet register = (MyRegisterApplet)applet;
//call the other applet's methods
Map map = register.getRegistry();
...

You cannot do this without a signed/trusted applet. Applets are restricted to what ip they can communicate with - the one they origionated from.
