Calling Java application from applet

Can I call a Java application (or native) from an applet?  If so, how is it done?  This would be in a windows 95/98/NT environment.

The short simple answer is No, Sorry but because of applet and browser security applets can not acess system files (Certian files including .exe)
The only way I can think of to do this would be to sign a applet.
Or make a signed .jar file.

Hope this helps !
I'm sorry i don't know how to sign applets

Hi,

What dvd99 said is very true. You can use trusted applets for this purpose.
For this you can sign the applet or release the restrictions on the site from where you are running the applet.
(1)You can release the restrictions on any http site in IE thru' Tools -> Internet options -> security.
(2)However, if you are looking for professional solution, signing is better approach. You can obtain certificate from agency such as Verisign. They will provide a certificate which confirms you genuinity and also some info. about you. The client will have to download your certificate and then he can access the signed applets/jars.

You will face several implementation problems if you are seriously looking for this option. Get back to me if you have any issues.
