Check this. It works for Swing apps just like it does for applets.

HI,

I know about swing(JApplet) to servlet communication.

But its not working in JFrame,

Why it is i dont know,

Here is the code for JApplet to servlet communication
private URLConnection getServletConnection(String servletName) throws MalformedURLException, IOException
{
URL urlServlet = new URL(getCodeBase(), servletName);
con = urlServlet.openConnection();
con.setDoInput(true);
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.setUseCaches(false);
return con;
}


URLConnection con = getServletConnection("db");
OutputStream outstream = con.getOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outstream);
oos.writeObject(fields);
oos.flush();
oos.close();

// receive result from servlet
InputStream instr = con.getInputStream();
ObjectInputStream inputFromServlet = new ObjectInputStream(instr);
details = (ArrayList) inputFromServlet.readObject();

tell me any one how it is in Frame

Thanks in advance

That's going to work except for the "getCodeBase()", which is an applet method. You're going to need to get the servlet URL some other way -- i.e., letting the user type it in, or from a configuration file or something.

But surely if you tried this, the compiler error message already made this clear enough?

What does this mean? Is the code being called? Are any exceptions thrown? Is the server accessed at all? Are there exceptions on the server?

It doesn't matter in which class this is implemented, whether it's a subclass of JFrame or not.

Hi,

I am trying to get the servlet using this this URL(from JFrame) but the servlet is not responding.

URL url=new URL("http://localhost:8080/ItemDetails/dbmodify");
URLConnection con=url.openConnection();

ItemDetails is my application name,
dbmodify is the urlpattern which is written in web.xml for that particular servlet.

Help me,

Thanks in advance

Kalyan, you need to provide more detail if you want us to help you: TellTheDetails.

E.g., what does this mean:

the servlet is not responding.


Does the request ever get to the server? Does the request ever get to the servlet? Is any of the code of the servlet run? Are there exception, either on the client or the server?

It's impossible to determine what might be going wrong if you don't tell us what's happening in detail. Make sure the URL you're accessing is correct (e.g., at first you seem to call parts of it "db", and then later "dbmodify"), and that the code that calls it is actually being run. Good luck.
