Java Applet Question

I was wondering how I would go about saving the 'state' of a java applet. For instance if I created a drawing program, how would i create a feature so the user could save their drawing to work on later?

Most probably it'll have to be persisted on your server. Sandboxing dictates that an applet can't have access to a local filesystem, and although this can be gotten around, ask yourself "would I like to install a piece of software from an unknown source that can access my hard drive through my web browser?". Personally, I wouldn't

i knew that its kept seperate from the local file system. But how do I keep it persisted on my server? Should I try getParameter?

You read/write to a file to the server.

My advice: give up on applets and write an application. Java Web Start makes it possible to deliver to clients.
