Hi all,
I am trying out applet servlet communication and the applet is invoking the servlet but the responcse i get is a IO exception

Server returned HTTP response code: 405 for URL:http://localhost:8080/applet/servlet/DaytimeServlet.

Here is my servlet code

public class DayTimeServlet extends HttpServlet {

 public DayTimeServlet() {
 super();
 // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
 }


 public Date getDate(){
 return new Date();
 }


 protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
 throws ServletException,
 IOException {
 super.doGet(req, resp);
 System.out.println("doGet called with date-->" + getDate().toString());
 resp.setContentType("text/plain");
 PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
 out.println(getDate().toString());

 //out.flush();
 //out.close();
 }

 protected void doPost(
 HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 System.out.println("doPost called");
 doGet(request,response);

 }

}

and here is the piece of code that connects to the se4rvlet from the applet

 public InputStream sendGetMessage(Properties args) throws IOException {

 String argString = ""; // default

 if (args != null) {
 argString = "?" + toEncodedString(args);
 }
 URL url = new URL(servlet.toExternalForm() + argString);

 // Turn off caching
 URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
 con.setUseCaches(false);
 con.connect();
 InputStream in = con.getInputStream();
 if(in == null)
 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Inputstream is null");
 return in;
 }

This method throws an IOException...
Thanks for all the help in advance
