applet: how to get data from a ColdFusion array

[cadoltt]

Hello All!

I posted this question at the ColdFusion forum first, but someone from there suggested to address it rather to java folks.

My task in general terms is to build a query in my java applet, pass the query to the CF program (?), make CF connect to a database, populate a CF array with the data, then get the data back in the applet and process it. I've read a bit about CF db connections and arrays - looks pretty straightforward, but I can't find about how to communicate between the applet and CF program: 1) how to pass a query string from the applet to the program, and 2) how to access a CF array from the applet.

Any advice will be appreciated. And first of all where to read, useful links etc.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Dian,

Thanks for the link, looks like now I know how to solve a half of the problem - that is how to get a string from the applet. The other half is yet to be looked for, I mean how to read data from a CF array.

Thanks again,
Alex
