Hi, im a new member here although i have been lurking for a few years!
Im not sure if this is the correct sub forum to be posting in and i apologize if it is not.
My problem:
I have created a
java applet which is linked to a database in MySQL. It queries and updated the tables within depending on user interaction.
My applet runs fine from within Eclipse but i seem to be running into a similar problem to many others. I have looked over MANY threads on this problem but have yet to find a definitive answer/solution. They all seem to differ. I have picked up information from these threads but i am still a bit confused. When i open my applet through a html file nothing happens, no error messages, nothing. I have commented out my code and just painted a line of text and it works, so i dont believe its my html file thats the issue. What i would like to know from you gurus is:
1. Do i have to create a jar (i have tried this but is it necessary?)
2. Do i have to get my applet signed to enable the database interaction whilst running in a browser?
3. Could there be another reason why my applet will not load?
This is extremely frustrating! It will eventually be placed on a server along with the database.
I can post the code if required, although it has quite a high amount of lines. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
