Subject: Java applet file access

Hello,

I want to develop an automatic vote system for Internet in Java, but I
have problems with it.
What I want is simple: the vote system is a java applet that receives
the choice and updates the counter of this choice in a file at my area.
Another java applet read this file and presents the result.
I know that I can read a file (I have already used it) by opening it as
a URL.
But I know, too, that java applets can't write files, even in my own
area...
There are another way to do my vote system in Java? Or I really can't
use Java to develop my vote system?
Thanks a lot for your help,
