On my laptop running ye olde 32-bit software (Windows Vista Home

Do you have a firewall enabled on that machine?

A token in the URL would work better, but wouldn't give a constant URL
for the application. I don't think cookies get shared between applets
andWebStartapplications unfortunately.
I considered using URL parameters in various forms.
The problem is that I cannot guarantee that the original
page with the applet, and any page opened by the
BasicService.showDocument() (in which I would put the
URL parameters to indicate 'success'), would open in
the same browser, let alone the same VM (and thereby
be in the 'same AppletContext as'/'be easily accessible
to' the first applet).
So it then comes back to how two untrusted applets,
potentially in different VM's, might interact.
AFAIU, there is no way.
But show us your source anyway.
Umm.. OK, sure..

the java source, JNLP launch files and the
applet page)
But note.. I am *not* asking for a code critique
on this *code*. It is horrid - hacked together,
rather than designed. It is the security environment
that controls it, that interests me.
