    Subject: Applets making network connections

Hello,
I am currently developing an application such that it needs
an applet to make a network connection to a server that is different
from the one that the applet originates from. I understand that this
is currently not possible. Do you know when will Sun release this
feature in the JDK ?

However I do know that there are ways to get
around this. One way is to have an application reside in the server
of the applet and use the application to make the network
connection. However how is the applet going to invoke the application
in it's own server. The application would probably have to be
listening for a request. Does this mean that the applet and the
application has to communicate via sockets as well ?
Is RMI another way to get around this problem ?
Thank You.

Jasmin
