1. A method of providing communication between a server processor and a client processor via a net infrastructure such as the Internet that provides total virtual persistence at the client tier, thereby allowing a state to be maintained at a client tier independently of a server and a database tier, whereby application data remains persistent during an entire session even when working with multiple webpages and whereby application data is kept closest to where it is needed, which reduces the load on the server tier and conserves bandwidth, comprising:

  • providing a client processor having an Applet Agent operating in a browser thereof, said client processor having a data cache, providing a server processor having a server agent operating therein, said server agent interconnected to a server database, said server database storing a plurality of Client Applets along with data associated with each said Client Applet, said Applet Agent sending a request to said server agent for retrieval of a selected Client Applet, said server agent retrieving said selected Client Applet and said selected Client Applet'"'"'s data from said server database, and said server agent sending said selected Client Applet and said selected Client Applet'"'"'s data to said Applet Agent, said Applet Agent sending said selected Client Applet and said selected Client Applet'"'"'s data to said browser of said client processor, and said Applet Agent storing said data of said selected Client Applet in said cache of said client processor, whereby said selected Client Applet'"'"'s data may be retrieved without accessing said server processor or said server database even after said selected Client Applet has been extinguished.
