Re: Applet using jdbc (ms sqlserver)

The applet is not running on a same server with SQLServer, so this might be the case (I'll test it a bit later). But, if I wanted the applet to run from the web-server and connecting to another database-server, what should I do? I don't want to alter security policies (because, clients might not be able to do this, and for security reasons).

You can use a simple proxy to forward connection to the relevant port. If you're using Linux/BSD then iptables/ipchains/ipfw will do it nicely. Or a router could do it.

Of course then you have the problem that your database is exposed, but that's unavoidable with such a 2-tier system.
