Applet > servlet file transfer

I am trying to get an applet to transfer files to a servlet. My problem is getting the applet to pass the information to the servlet

I am using resin as a container
applet servlet code below

Applet code

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class FileUploadApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{

JButton jbutton = null;
public void init()
{
jbutton = new JButton("Send file");
jbutton.addActionListener(this);
this.getContentPane().add(jbutton);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
if(ae.getSource() == jbutton)
{
try
{
File file = new File("C:\\NewToledo.txt");

FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] buf=new byte[in.available()];
int bytesread = 0;

String toservlet = "localhost8080/test/etc..";

URL servleturl = new URL(toservlet);
URLConnection servletconnection = servleturl.openConnection();
servletconnection.setDoInput(true);
servletconnection.setDoOutput(true);
servletconnection.setUseCaches(false);
servletconnection.setDefaultUseCaches(false);

DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(servletconnection.getOutputStream ());

while( (bytesread = in.read( buf )) > -1 )
{
out.write( buf, 0, bytesread );
}

out.flush();
out.close();
in.close();

DataInputStream inputFromClient = new DataInputStream(servletconnection.getInputStream() );
//get what you want from servlet
//.......
inputFromClient.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

}
}

}

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Servlet code

package test;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;

public class FileUpload extends HttpServlet
{
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)
{

ServletContext sc = this.getServletContext();
try
{
String fileName = "C:\\NewToledo.txt";
String path = fileName;

File yourFile = new File(path);
FileOutputStream toFile = new FileOutputStream( yourFile );
DataInputStream fromClient = new DataInputStream( req.getInputStream() );

byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
int cnt = 0;
while( (cnt = fromClient.read( buff )) > -1 ) {
toFile.write( buff, 0, cnt );
}
toFile.flush();
toFile.close();
fromClient.close();

}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

here is the log info from resin

Http[13] POST /servlet/MyServlet HTTP/1.1

It appears to grab the content just not connect or pass content. I have tried to define the URL via multiple file separators no luck.

any suggestions thanks for your time.
