Applet needs to warn a servlet

[Maribel]

I need my applet warns a servlet that it is finilizing, from stop() method (for instance). I am doing an url call, into my applet stop method, like:

try
{
URL StopConnection = new URL(getCodeBase()+"/myServlet");
try
{
URLConnection sc = StopConnection.openConnection();
} catch (IOException e)
{
System.out.println("Exception ending applet " + e);
return;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

It does not work, maybe there is something wrong or it is impossible to do what i need to. If someone has an idea, please, i will apreciate it!

How does it fail? Does the connection fail? does it throw an exception? How does the servlet know it is a finalize warning? Does the servlet get the message?

If it's a problem with the connection, here's a reliable way of making one:URL currentPage = getCodeBase();
String protocol= currentPage.getProtocol();
String host = currentPage.getHost();
int port = currentPage.getPort();
String urlSuffix = "/servlet/MyServlet";
URL dataURL = new URL(protocol, host, port, urlSuffix);
URLConnection connection = dataUrl.openConnection();

I tried some experiments with an applet's stop() method using code that worked in the init() method. I used both IE5.5 and Netscape 4.? No messages were sent to my localhost server from the stop() method. So is my code bad or does the browser NOT allow communication from the stop() method?

I changed my code and was able to send a message to the server from the applet's stop() method using a Socket. Forget the other message
