The invention is directed to a method for accessing a service platform via
an Internet browser session, as well as to a servlet, a service unit and
an applet for performing the method. The method is made up of a number of
steps. The first step is installing the servlet at a web-server of a
content provider having access to this service platform. When a user then
tries to use a service of this service platform, the servlet detects
whether or not said browser session is already associated to a related
service session. If the browser session is already associated to this
related service session, it performs predetermined actions related to the
service session, such as charging. If the browser session is not
associated to the related service session, it returns a web page
containing the applet to guide an associated browser of the user through
a logon process for the related service session. In the end the user may
access the service session via the browser session.
