I have to admit I'm not getting the picture. I presume the user is
connecting again via the same applet but at a later time. Are you trying to
reuse the applet's (client) thread and its connection to the application
server? Or are you trying to reuse the server's (client) thread so that it
can handle new client requests? Your question as to whether it (the applet)
can join back to the thread it originally came from doesn't make any sense.
The execution of one piece of program cannot join back to another thread. A
thread *is* a running piece of program. You may be able to create a static
object on the client's machine that represents the connection to the server
and then reuse that connection when the applet reconnects. I'm not sure if
that's possible (but it is testable.) My previous message described how to
reuse the server's thread.

What I really can't figure out is why you think you would need to do this?
Can you described what you want to accomplish without saying how you think
you should do it?
