Subject: server side file write via socket
Date: Sun, 03 Aug 1997 08:51:14 PDT

Hello,
For the past week I have been searching for a way to write
a file on the server side of an applet. I have looked through
all sorts of FAQs and Forums and have come to the conclution
it can really only be done using a socket. Is there another
way? I found your tech page refering to Server Side work
arounds with the examples: EchoTest, QuoteServer, and TalkServer.
I downloaded each of them, compiled them and tried to run them,
but each gave me the error "java.lang.ClassCastException" when
I loaded the html page either locally or from a remote server.
I am using Netscape 4.01 with Windows95, and JDK 1.1.3

Do you have any suggestions on what that problem might be?

Finally, for the most part I am just interested in designing
an applet where someone can type in their email address in
a TextField and then "submit" which would add the address
to a file on the server side containing a mailing list.
If there is another way to accomplish this I would certainly
appreciate any feedback.

thanks,
David
