Swing is now included in the JDK's ...
So Why would you limit your self to the AWT... ???
There are very few reasons to limit yourself to AWT, typically when you are not sure of your clients environment but it is getting very rare to not have at least a JDK 1.3.
The VAG-group's web site (www.vw.be, www.audi.be) in Belgium was used to have implemented its own toolkit onto the AWT to have neat rendering (like in Swing but based on AWT, only).

For the C/S communication you should answer first the following :
What needs to be transfered between the C & the S ?

Options are : HTTP or RMI (quickly stated). There are of courses hundreds of other possibilities : JDBC, Plain Sockets (TCP/UDP), FTP, ...

Thanks for ur reply.
i created my server using serversocket,now i want to make client,so as per ur view for client
which method i use,either i make Client using swing JFRAME
or explicitly run it at client side or i make client using japplet which load from Server.

i want to make chat application through which i can chat using WEB,WAP enabled,MIDP enabled phone.

so if i use socketprograming for server then how can i connect with WAP and MIDP.

i want to transfer message between Clients and also Files
every message/file first go to server and the send to appropriate user.
