Question

this applet checks a string against one in a database then if passwords match, a new url is opened. the applet loads in webpage with no problems. it just doesnt seem to work. have granted full access to code base in policy file.
heres the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.net.*;
public class LoginApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener
    Panel top;
    Panel bottom;
    TextField nameField;
    TextField passField;
    Label userNameLabel;
    Label passwordLabel;
    Button loginButton;
    public void init()
        setSize(230,200);
        setBackground(Color.white);
        // Create panels, labels, and text fields
        top                = new Panel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
        bottom                = new Panel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
        nameField           = new TextField(15);
        passField           = new TextField(15);
        userNameLabel      = new Label("User Name:", Label.LEFT);
        passwordLabel      = new Label("Password:   ", Label.LEFT);
        loginButton          = new Button("Login:");
        loginButton.addActionListener(this);
        // Mask the input so that people looking over your shoulder
        // won't be able to see the password
        passField.setEchoChar('*');
        // Add items to their panels
        top.add(userNameLabel);
        top.add(nameField);
        top.add(passwordLabel);
        top.add(passField);
        bottom.add(loginButton);
        // Set the applet layout
        setLayout(new GridLayout(3,3));
        // Add the panels to the applet (skip this
        // part and you won't see the panels on screen)
        add(top);
        add(bottom);
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
               String name      = nameField.getText();
               String pass      = passField.getText();
               try
                    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
                    // set this to a MS Access DB
                    String filename = "e:/iain/College/Y4/SWP/Program/website/database/loginDetails.mdb";
                    String database = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=";
                    database+= filename.trim() + ";DriverID=22;READONLY=true}"; // add on to the end
                    // now we can get the connection from the DriverManager
                    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( database ,"","");
                    Statement s = con.createStatement();
                    s.execute(" SELECT [password] FROM logindetails WHERE [username] = '" + name + "' "); // select the data from the table
                    ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet(); // get any ResultSet that came from our query
                    if (rs != null) // if rs == null, then there is no ResultSet to view
                         while ( rs.next() ) // this will step through our data row-by-row
                              String passtmp = "";
                              passtmp = passtmp + rs.getString(1);
                              if(passtmp.equals(pass))
                                   String url = "E:/iain/College/Y4/SWP/Program/website";
                                   Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                                   String[] callAndArgs = {"\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\"", url };
                                   try
                                        Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
                                        nameField.setText("");
                                        passField.setText("");
                                   catch (Exception eee)
                                        eee.printStackTrace(System.err);
                              else
                                   System.out.println("Invalid Password " +name);
                              s.close(); // close the Statement to let the database know we're done with it
                             con.close(); // close the Connection to let the database know we're done with it
               catch (Exception ee)
                    System.out.println("Error: " + ee);
}

Answer 1

this is the initial error, when applet is run:
java.security.policy: error adding Entry:
java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown
unknown protocol: eI don't know where that's from that code, but e isn't a protocol. If it's a file, you should append "file:///" to the full path.
then when trying to read from db:
Error: java.security.AccessControlException: access
denied (java.lang.RuntimePer
mission accessClassInPackage.sun.jdbc.odbc)
didnt think of running it through applet viewer.
the whole thing will be running on the same server
using IIS over a LANYou don't connect to a local file system thru an applet without a signed applet. Period.
