Just a short question,
when you put a java applet into a website, if that java appletsaves and loads files, where does it save and load them from?
does it save on the persons computer who is using the applet or does it save to some directory within the webpage? If so how is this done?
thnx
Applets are not permitted to acces files on the client machine (I mean, would you want someone else's web page messing with your files).
So any data they load or save has to come from, or go to the server from which they are loaded.
Applets can use URL based connections to read data from the server, or send data (providing there is server side code to receive it).

Depends how your server software stores them. It's more usual, actually, for a webserver to store incoming data in a database (in particular because you have to allow for talking to serveral clients at once.)
In any case any data uploaded needs to be handled by a Servlet on the server, and you must write that Servlet to store the incoming data in an appropriate place.
