hi ben,
if u need an applet to connect to a local database,there is one
mechanism for u.In ur applet u creat a clientsocket and thru I/O
streams u send the applet content to a middle application where
u will create a server socket and get the applet content thru
Object input stream or any other input stream and there itself
u establish the jdbc connection and connect to the database.
u can send ur data to database as well as u can retrieve the
data from database into the middleapplication and from there
thru streams u can send to the applet.
If u are not comfortable with socket programming u can use
middle application as servlet which requires java webserver.
if use servlet as middle application u need not create the sockets.directly u can retrieve the data from database into the
servlet and send that info to the applet thru outputstreams.
if u are not clear let me know it
thanks and regards
Anand
