I am using the Oracle8 JDBC Thin driver, my application connects to remote Oracle8 server, reads the data, and plots it just fine. (I'm using RogueWave StudioJ) This program runs in my IBM/Visual Age IDE AppletViewer when the AppletViewer Network access and Class access properties are set to "Unrestricted".

The Oracle8 NT database server is on computer "dakota", and I'm running my applet on "ohio".

When I try to deploy this application outside the IDE, in a browser, I get the following Java errors from the Java Console:

IE4 tells me:

com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[Plotting/InmsData.getData]: cannot access "dakota"

NN4.5 tells me:

netscape.security.AppletSecurityException: security.Couldn't connect to 'dakota' with origin from 'local-classpath-classes'.

Oracle documentation "Oracle8 JDBC Drivers" section "Applets Browser Security Considerations" is skimpy. Can anyone direct me to the documentation to solve this problem or suggest a solution?

Thanks!
