Server Push

[Aaron Sevivas]

Hi all! I am very new to Java (have C++ experience). Anyways, I would like
to write an applet that receives data through a server 'Push' without using
sockets. I have heard that you can do this in a JavaApplet .. Does anyone
know anything about how to accomplish this? Any help or hints would be appreciated.

Regards,

Aaron Sevivas

It's unlikely that the server could "push" anything to the browser, since
the standard communication protocols are completely based on the client
(browser) requesting something from the server. But it is possible for
applets to send requests to the server they were loaded from and to receive
the reply from the server.
