this sounds like the old age problem of thinking the applet is on the 
server
instead of on the client or thinking that you can access local 
resources. if
you are using the applet n the same machine as the server thats serving 
it
but using http, it is probably best not to try and do database 
accessing
code in the applet. Connect to a servlet that will access the database 
for
you instead. Ideally, use a bean in the servlet to access the database
rather than using SQL in the servlet itself. Sub obtimally, use a 
resource
bundle or other properties file to access these SQL calls so that they 
are
not hardcoded into your servlet.
