This makes sense if the Applet is being run from a local disk. getCodeBase() will then return a 'file' URL, pointing to the local disk, whose getHost() method should return null. For getHost() to return non-null, the Applet would have to be run from a web server (tomcat is as good as any, plus you'd be able to run your servlet there too), so it would have a 'http' URL, and getHost() would return a sensible value.
