How can an applet maintain persistent state?
There is no explicit support in the JDK applet API for persistent state on the client side. However, an applet can maintain its own persistent state on the server side. That is, it can create files on the server side and read files from the server side. This would be consistent with what I’ve found which is that I can read from a file without any tricks and so surely I should be able to write to a file without any tricks.
