Yes. I am actually working on one such open source project. You can find
more information about it from
http://www.quik-j.com/ace_operator.htm .
Basically, the way we are doing it is that, there is a server running
the chat server application and there is a chat applet that communicates
with the server using TCP/IP sockets. The applet's docbase is your web
page (or home page) and the codebase is the server address where the
chat server is running. Of course the codebase and docbase could be the
same. All of this is possible with ordinary sandbox applets. In fact, if
you write it properly, it can work even with very old JVMs that come
with the IE browser.
For file transfers from client to the server, things get more
complicated - you need to run the applet out of the sandbox. You can do
it by using signed applets and java security features. You will need
the Java plugin for this.
