Re: Connecting To DB via Java Applet

Hi,

there is a workaround to access a remote database from an applet. You have to use the connection manager provided by oracle. From the applet you connect to the connection manager running on the same machine as the webserver. You give the connection manager the connection data for your remote database and it sets up this connection. For the browser it looks as if the applet only connects to the host it resides, so there is no security problem!

Best regards,
Yvonne Ruthard
