JApplet - problem connecting to database from another machine

Posted by Binod Pokharel on December 05, 2001 at 5:28 PM

Hi,

I have a small applicatiion that uses JApplet to call servelt which accesses MS Access database using JDBC. I am uing jakarta Tomcat server.It runs fine when I run locally in the individual machine that has the web server running.

Now when I try to access this page from another machine, the JApplet gets loaded, and it also accesses servlet, I mean there is no error in url path or anything like that but when the application tries to access database and retrieve some information, I get the following error "java.security.AccessControlException:access denied (java.net.SocketPermisssion localhost:8080 connect, resolve) ".

Please let me know what I have to do; I think it has something to do with JApllet security thing.

Bye
Binod
