Let me get this straight.  Applets cannot write data back to the server?

What I've been trying to develop is an applet for a catalog web page that
will read from a database, so that it will only allow the user to select an
item if it is in stock.  Thus it would need to update the inventory table
when a purchase was made.  Is this not possible from an applet?  Is it time
to crack open the CGI books?
