Multiplayer game

Hello fellas,

I am trying to write an applet that allows users to play Poker with each other. Reading http://www.javaonthebrain.com/java/holdem/technical.html I realized I needed an application running on the server, which brought just about more questions to me:

1.How multiplaying is done?

2.The application running on the server: Is it a java applet?

[in case you didnt read the link: The application running on the server is for handling the accesses to the database]

Thank you for your time :o)
