Applet that writes a .txt file

[Kon P]

Hello!
I am a java neophyte and I in big trouble lately. I want to make a simple
applet with two textfields (name & email) and two buttons (Submit & Clear).
It's very simple up to here. The problem is that I want the information from
these two textfields, stored in a .txt file. I've tried it over and over
without a result. I would be really grateful if someone could tell me how
to do it or even better send me some code here or by e-mail.

Than you very much!

If you read what is an applet properly you might read about the restrictions
of applets. Applets can't access any local resources(like write/reading
from files, opening socket connections etc). If you want to read/write local
disk files you need to write signed applets. Read Java doc for writing signed
applets. Signed applets are a mess (Its all depend on browser).

It might seem harmless to you at this stage if we were able to have an applet
writing to a file, but that is not how java sees things. Applets are meant
to run in a browser on the client's machine and for security reasons it makes
sense not to allow writing or reading anything to and from the host environment.
If an applet is able to do that,it would be what is called a "hostile applet".

if your application needs to get the client's name and E-mail address, then
you could either use HTML forms or better if you use a servlet. This way
you can get the parameters that you require from the client and then do whatever
you want with them on your machine.

Good luck with java.
