java applet wait for response question

[maxpower1]

good morning,
I need to create a java applet for my web application. the applet simply registers itself with a process and wait for that process to return a msg back to the applet. It could take 5 seconds or it could take 30 minutes before a message is sent back. Does anyone know whether it is viable to implement this using the java applet?

thank you

I'd look this up in Applet Security issues if I were you. How are you planning to register this applet with the process because Applets can not make any connections except back to the original web server. If it's not a security issue, check it with an update thread for the applet.
