Usual case is to use HTTP/SSL, and leverage an HTTPServlet. Depending on what you're trying to do with your servlet, your design could be as simple as your servlet does one thing, and so your applet calls that servlet to do one thing. Alternately, you could set up your servlet to be a Front-Controller servlet to then decide what business logic to perform, based on some set of information that you've passed to the servlet.
