Hi,
first i'd like to say hello to the community
secondly i'd like to say sorry for the english errors i will do (i'm french)

i'm desperate searching code, or tutorial for making a chat applet.
Not a simple chat applet with socket and serverSocket(i know how to do that ..)
but a peer to peer chat WITHOUT a server .
the chat applet is for an internet web site, so simply doing multicast is also a bad idea :( (i think, if i'm wrong please, correct me)
Maybe it's easy, simply tell all clients to be serveur, but i'm confused .
if i had 50 client, must all the 50 be 1 server and be in the same time client to the 49 other ?!?
it's the only idea i have, and i think this will be hard, beacause
1 serverSocket = 1 thread
1 Socket (client) = 1thread
so if ther are 50 clients, this will be 50 threads
if anyone could help, it would be great.

in hope of a response, thanks ...

Impossible. Java applets can only connect to their originating host, aka the server they're served from.

well when i signed my applet i can connect other hosts.
I can perfectly read stream from other http server for exemple

Oops! Good catch. Sorry for the mistake -- at least my link clarified things appropriately. Did you manage to get a P2P chat client implemented?
