> Am I correct in assuming that your application wants to talk to an URL ? If so you can use some method in either URLConnection/HTTPURLconnection of java.net. If I am wrong in assuming the above manner, could you elaborate the question how did you get the page in to the hands of a frame.

Applets only can be embedded in a web page and getDocumentBase() is used to get URL of that page.

If you are doing a http connection from an java application you have to know the URL and use URL object from java.net

Hope this will help.
