problems with applet session between to two applets

[elizabeth]

I want to create a session between to two applets.
Is it possible to have both of these methods??

getApplet("String s");
showDocument(URL url);

in the same applet class. I'm getting the instance of the second applet with the help of:

getApplet("String s");

and setting the values of certain components of the second applet.
Then I try to make use of

showDocument(URL url);

method to display the second applet which has been dynamically updated in the first applet.

I tried this, but it is not working.
So how to set the value of second applet from first applet and make the second applet available in the web page?

Using multiple applets in a single application is a bad idea because it's just superfluous and unnecessary at all. Use multiple sub windows instead just like ordinary Java GUI application. Communication between them is reliable, safe, robust and can be much flexible.
