I think you're trying to connect to a database in a diferent host than the Web Server.
This is possible in applcations, but not in applets, who only can open TCP connections to the same machine who served the page.
To do that, yo should use a Data Gateway to establish the connections (IDSServer, and so on). I think that installing Oracle's Connection Manager in the same machine than the Web, it would run.
