Developing a chat applet

[Hiranya Samarasekera]

Hi,

what is the best method to communicate between the chat applet and the server,

(1) applet -> servlet
OR
(2) applet -> RMI

do you have any idea about this, please.

thanks,
Hiranya

may be applet -> RMI is easier and simpler and because you dont need any special
previlages on the client's machine i think its quite adecquate but I have
never done any chat stuff before.
If you have time you can try both and do your own benchmarking.
