problem with ServletRequest request.getInputStream

I'm trying to implement the Front Controller paradigm , but I'm unable to communication with my applet on the client machine

the ServletRequest request.getInputStream method always returning empty input stream
any idea ??

I had the same problem and that is an issue, this issue comes from the Applet and not your filter.

this seem to be an burning issue when communicating between an Applet and Servlet but
without any solution available.....please share "this issue" with us all with a little detail if you had it solved...thanks in advance
