If you really mean to handle the events using Component.handleEvent you just need to subclass the java.awt.Event class. Then call postEvent( event ) for the target component. This only applies to JDK 1.0.2, however.<br />

If you want to use JDK 1.1+ then you need to subclass java.awt.AWTEvent and call Toolkit.getEventQueue().po<wbr />stEvent(ev<wbr />ent)<br />

Do you mean in two separate JVM's? That would mean some sort of IPC (inter-process communication). The best thing to do would be to open a socket between the two processes and pass your events as serialized objects.<br />

<div>
And how can I do that?<br />
I have found the following, but I want to communicate between two Processes on the same machine:<br />
Socket connection = new Socket(hostname, portnum)<br />
<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
