Advice needed regarding secure connections between java client and MySQL



OK, I am after a distributed application in which the client is an applet
that needs to get data from a MySQL database and interact with a number of
servlets and java server pages. I want all data transfers to happen using
SSL, or TLS if that is an option. I want to generate certificates for the
MySQL server, my app server apps and my applets, so that connections will be
rejected if either the servers or the instances of the applets fail to
properly authenticate themselves to the others.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (along with pointers to useful
web resources that have material showing how to improve the security of web
database applications).

Have I overlooked opportunities to strengthen the security (esp. data
integrity and confidentiality) of a web database application?

Thanks,

Ted
