Hi pravin_tiwari

1. First check the port on which your applet is running and the port on which servlet is running.

If there are samw port your url will like this

http://yoursite/servlet/YourServletName

2.If they are running on different port, you have to mention port on ehich servlet is running.

http://yoursite:servletport/servlet/YourServletName.

In my view, your problem is applet and servlet are running on different port.

IF they are running on same port are you mentioned the port as in 2 above,

Just post stacktrace and

the code which actually connecting with servlet

hi ravindra76,
well as you have mentioned in your comment we are using the second option. the funny thing is it was working few days back but now suddenly it is giving an exception : FileNotFound 202.54.20.85//servlet/RCServlet.

my code snipplet is:

public void getData() {
try {
System.out.println("String ==> " +input);
URL connect = new URL("http://202.54.20.85:8081/servlet/RCServlet");
URLConnection c = connect.openConnection();
System.out.println(" just after url connection ");
c.setDoInput(true);
c.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream os = c.getOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(os);
oos.writeObject(input);
oos.close();
os.close();
}

thanks very much for your assistance!

Hi,

Here port 8081 is missing in stack trace.

If you don't laugh at cheap trick,

compile Applet and Servlet file once recently and restart the server which is running the servlet

Best of luck

Have U checked Ur classpath settings.
U say published the applet, so I assume
it is a different m/c.Could be that
the classpath was set wrongly on the server m/c and U were able to access the servlet becos' U had a local copy
on Ur hard disk.

hi all,
thanks for your valuable comments...finally i got the solution and it was that my servlet was throwing an error. but since i was calling the function of the applet that establishes the stream with servlet from java script i was getting filenotfound exception.
i think chintal stud is write.

thanks to all anyway.
