[java] Write a file

if the applet is browser based then no.

you could if you signed the applet or used applet viewer.

If it''s important you could always make the applet a web start application and get around the secuity issues of applets.

Cheers

why cant you just write the log file to the host space???

it''s all down to applets secuity. you can use the url object and with either asp or php etc etc to write to a file using post or get.
