Applet on a website getting information on player position from Bukkit?

I am trying to make a Java Applet I can put on my website. The website is on the same machine as my Bukkit server. My question is, how can I get a Bukkit plugin to send information on players' positions to the Applet? I want to have the applet do things based on a player's position.

Sorry if this is basic stuff, I'm new to Java. Thanks for any help!

EDIT: If it matters, I will probably do this by outputting the name of the region a player is in as a string.

 

I think you can use a servlet to do this (I have no experience with servlets, so I can't help you on this). Another possibility is to repeatedly write the player's position to a file, which is then read by the applet.

 

Sockets.

 

Short. Simple. To the point. Thanks for the help!

 

Glad to help
