applet calling Servlet

[S Raman]

I am having applet which calls a LogoutServlet
The logout servlet closes makes entry in database regarding client logout(it does this) and should redirect to login.jsp

how can this be achieved.
or atleast can i close the window in which the applet is present

Probably not

The applet is acting as the client for the request to the Servlet. It receives the return response. It is up to the applet to make meaning of this response.

When the client that sent the request to the Servlet is a browser, it handles the response and renders the page.

You can forward to a jsp from the servlet but that does not change the fact that the applet is getting the response not the browser.

Since, what you're trying to do involves applet/browser interaction, I think this question would do better in our Applets forum.

Michael Ku has a point. If you want the applet to make the redirect send post to servlet, respond to applet and do a redirect from applet with the code you got from the servlet

this.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(getCodeBase().toString() + "redirect.jsp"), "_self");
