I don't think there's a good way of doing this sort of something strange with a Java applet. The easiest way of doing this would be to include a timestamp row in your database table; the edit form would be generated with the current value of that field. When they submit the form, your code can check to see if the time stamp that was current when the form was created is still valid and either process the request or give the user some sort of "Overwrite newer data (y/n)" prompt.
