One way to do what you listed ur zip case.
You can upload all data related to your webserver,
than let the user to download the result,
that will be a great way to avoid the limitation of applet.
Have a nice day

P.S.
The reason use Java is to make it platform unbanded,
only for some basic operation ,like formate Floppy, or COM port
communication,
if not try to use stand Java API or pure Java.
