Hi Michael.

You can use a JDBC driver that communicates via a secure protocol, such as SSL or HTTPS. Some 3-tier solutions also provide JDBC connection pools with these protocols, so the applet can get a ready-made JDBC connection, and
needn't know or be able to find out the DBMS password or location.
