HELP! Applet connecting too Database

I am trying to connect an Applet too a Database file, that will be hosted in the same directory as the html, and jar files. The database connection and manipulation methods are in a seperate class, from the Applet.
I get an error on the line:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
It is beign caught in a try/catch, and I print out what is below, includes exception dump.
Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver.
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.jdbc.odbc)
Any help on why this is happening, and how I can fix it, would be appreciated.

signing the applet, would remove almost all restrictions on the applet. But would it remove this restriction, since that particular error, is because the applet is trying to access a class that it is not allowed too.
the client server model, would work also, but you have to leave the server side piece always running, even though it wont always be needed.
a applet servlet setup, I believe could work, but serving servlets is not a capability the server currently has, and the admin, does not particularly want too add it.
I asked for a specific database.
I am in a large company, so maybe I can find what is suggested.
Anymore ideas?
I always appreciate input.

Applets Connecting to DataBases

I want to connect an applet to a database residing in my hard disk
but I come up with the message "AccessDeniedException" what is the best way to overcome this? does it concern my browser IE or the jave I am writing.

to alamnbr:
I suggest that you look at the notepad applet included in Java WebStart, which was installed along with Java - look for its icon on your desktop.
Also, please do not post to an existing thread if your post does not relate to the thread content - start a new thread, instead. Thanks

Need help in connecting to Database

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.I can connect to the standard hr schema (hr/hr) via both command line and SQL Developer. But when I installed Oracle DevSuite 10g today to work on Oracle reports builder,
I can't connect to that by SQL*PLUS or inside any other application ,like reports.
I get a ORA-12560 TNS Protocol adapter error.
I have also looked up my tnsnames.ora file ; it has a working localhost entry.
Please suggest a way to connect to it.Thanks.
-RC

ORA-12560 can mean that ORACLE_SID environment variable is not set at OS level on Windows.
If this is not the case please see Testing and Troubleshooting Oracle Net Services http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14212/part3.htm#i436520

Help! connection to database

hi I'm trying to connect to mysql using the connector\j driver.
I'm getting an exception saying that the class for the driver can't be found, however it is definately in my path. I'm using windows XP as an operating system. Ive done stack trace and it definately is a problem with the following statement:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
My full source is as follows:
import java.sql.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
class jill
     public static void main(String[] args)
          System.out.println("Hello World!");
          try
               Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
               java.sql.Connection conn;
               conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
               "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=blah&password=blah");
          catch (SQLException sqlException)
               System.out.println("SQL: " + sqlException.getMessage());
          catch (ClassNotFoundException classNotFoundException)
               System.out.println("Driver not right: " +
               classNotFoundException.getMessage());
               classNotFoundException.printStackTrace();
          catch (Exception instantiationException)
               System.out.println("Instantiation error: " +
               instantiationException.getMessage());
I 'd grately appreciate any help!

I found the problem! A pretty simple one really, I thought that the path variable was equivalant to the classpath variable.
Therefore I didn't bother creating a classpath variable and adding the path to the driver on there. But when I did do this it worked of course.

Help needed connecting to database

I have had difficulty following the instructions in the
getting started manual for Dreamweaver MX in Chapter 7 (Setup for
Sample ColdFusion Site) in the section "connecting to the sample
database" under "creating a ColdFusion data Source". It says:
"1 In Dreamweaver, open a ColdFusion page.
2 In the Databases panel (Window > Databases), click the
Modify Data Sources icon (the second icon from the right on the
panel toolbar).
ColdFusion Administrator opens in a browser.
3 Log in to ColdFusion Administrator and create a data source
called connGlobal pointing to the global.mdb database file."
Not knowing what a "ColdFusion page" is, I try clicking
File>New... and edit preferences to set the default to
Coldfusion page, close and reopen dreamweaver so that it says
"document type: ColdFusion" in the application>databases panel.
However, when I click on Modify Data Sources, a "Coldfusion
administrator URL" box appears prompting with
http://localhost/cfide/administrator/datasources/index.cfm.
When I click OK it does nothing (and clicking Test produces error
404) and I don't get a login prompt.
Can someone tell me if I'm on the right track? Thankyou,
Charles

Do you have ColdFusion installed on your PC? You can get a
free developer version from Adobe. Then, you'll need to set up your
site's Testing Server, server model as ColdFusion.

Taking too much time (1min) to connect to database

Hi,
I have oracle 10.2 and 10g application server.
Its taking too much time to connect to database through application (on browser). The connection through sqlplus is fine.
Please share your experience.
Regards,
Naseer

Dear AnaTech,
i am going to ask not related this question which already you answered i am going to ask you about that how to connect forms6i and Developer 10g with OracleAS.
i have installed and working Developer Suite 10g Ver. 10.1.2 and also Form Builder 6i. On my other machine i installed and working Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 and also on the database machine i installed Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control 10.1.2.0.2.
my database conectivity with Developer suite Forms and Reports and also Form6i and Reports6i are working fine. no problem.
now the 1 question of mine is that when i try to run form6i through run from web i got this error. FRM-99999: error 18121 occured see the release not.
this and the main question of mine is this that how can i control my OracleAS 10g with forms because basically the functionality of OracleAS is Mid-Tier but i am not utilizing the Mid-tier i am using here Two-tier Envrionment even i installed 3-Tier Environment so tell me how i utilize it with 3-Tier..
I hope you don't mind that i ask this question here and also if you give me you email then we can discuss this in detail and i can be helpful of your great expertise. i also know and utilize my 3-tier real envrionment.
Waiting for your great response.

Applet connecting to MS SQL Database (Remote DataSourse)

Hello,
I started by building my interface to a Database within an Application. I am not to the point where I am ready to make it an applet but want to get some tips when the time comes very soon.
First of all what security issues do I have to deal with to let the applet connect to the database?
Second I currently created a local Datasource via ODBC call JavaDB and linked it to my MS SQL Database.
QUESTION
How do I link to the with a remote Datasource so that the local machine does not have to worry about the datasource.
Lastly can I use the "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" in an applet. I sure hope so...
Then the part of my code that connected to the database was this:
private void initDB(){
String url = "jdbc:ODBC:JavaDB";
Connection con;
String query = "select * from COFFEES";
Statement stmt;
try {
//Class.forName("myDriver.ClassName");
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, DBADM, DBPWD);
stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
System.out.println("");
int numberOfColumns = rsmd.getColumnCount();
for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) {
 if (i > 1) System.out.print(", ");
 String columnName = rsmd.getColumnName(i);
 System.out.print(columnName);
System.out.println("");
while (rs.next()) {
 for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) {
 if (i > 1) System.out.print(", ");
 String columnValue = rs.getString(i);
 System.out.print(columnValue);
 System.out.println("");
stmt.close();
con.close();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.err.print("SQLException: ");
System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
Thanks,
Kenny

Kenny,
As no one has replied, I've managed to implement a database that uses applets.
Firstly, one needs to obtain a JSP server (apache tomcat is free and can be configured into a IIS 4 server).
Secondly, write all the DB connection stuff within a jsp page (ex.) "builders.jsp"
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%!
protected String driver="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
protected String url="jdbc:odbc:PhotoDBase";
protected String userid=null;
protected String passwd=null;
%>
<html><head><title>Builder Example</title></head><body>
<%!
public static String GET_BUILDER_QUERY =
"SELECT * FROM BuilderInfo WHERE BuilderID =?";
%>
<%
String bID = "24"; //normally this would use
//request.Parameter("bID");
//in order to pull up a specific
//record. In this test case it is
//hard coded to pull only builder #24
%>
<%
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userid, passwd);
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(GET_BUILDER_QUERY);
stmt.setString(1, bID);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
rs.next();
 String buildID = rs.getString("BuilderID");
 String bName = rs.getString("BuilderName");
 String bAddress = rs.getString("Address");
 String bCity = rs.getString("City");
 String bState = rs.getString("State");
 String bZip = rs.getString("Zip");
 String bCName = rs.getString("ContactName");
 String bCLast = rs.getString("ContactLast");
 String bPhone = rs.getString("Phone");
 String bFax = rs.getString("Fax");
 String bMobile = rs.getString("Pager/Cell");
rs.close();
stmt.close();
if (bName == null)
 bName = "No Builder";
if (bAddress == null)
 bAddress = "N/A";
if (bCity == null)
 bCity = "N/A";
if (bState == null)
 bState = "N/A";
if (bZip == null)
 bZip = "N/A";
if (bCName == null)
bCName = "N/A";
if (bCLast == null)
 bCLast = "N/A";
if (bPhone == null)
 bPhone = "N/A";
if (bFax == null)
bFax = "N/A";
if (bMobile == null)
bMobile = "N/A";
%>
Builder: <%= bName%> BuilderID #: <%= buildID%>
 Contact: <%= bCName%> <%= bCLast%>
 Address: <%= bAddress%>
 <%= bCity%>, <%= bState%> <%= bZip%>
 Phone: <%= bPhone%>
 Fax: <%= bFax%>
 Mobile: <%= bMobile%>
<applet code="Build.class" width="600" height="300">
<param name=buildID value=<%= buildID%>>
<param name=bName value="<%= bName%>">
<param name=bAddress value="<%= bAddress%>">
<param name=bCity value="<%= bCity%>">
<param name=bState value="<%= bState%>">
<param name=bZip value="<%= bZip%>">

<param name=bPhone value="<%= bPhone%>">
<param name=bFax value="<%= bFax%>">
<param name=bMobile value="<%= bMobile%>">
</applet>
</body>
</html>
The jsp gets the data from the DB based on the parameter bID which would be passed to it via a search or input page with various error checking included.
The applet then recieves its data via parameters. (Build.class has been shortened here to show you the meat and potatoes of the whole deal)

Help: FORMS SERVER cannot connect to database (forms patch9)

Hi:
I've installed oracle 9i database and oracle 9ias 1.0.2.2.2a.
I configured FormsServlet and it's working very well as i suceed my test in http://machina.domain/servlet/oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet!
The problem is that i cannot connect to the database and i got the error ORA-12203 TNS: Unable to connect to destination!
I've changed jserv.properties as recommended in 9ias 10222 release notes by commenting the wrapper.env=ORACLE_HOME in OJSP because it conflicts with forms server home.
I've read all about this, and i still cannot connect to the database.
I'm using a forms servlet configuration with IE JVM.
If anyone can help me... i apreciate it!
By the way in my jserv.properties forms server config i have:
# Oracle Forms and Reports Servers
wrapper.classpath=C:\ORACLE\806\forms60\java\f60srv.jar
wrapper.classpath=C:\ORACLE\806\forms60\java
If i have this the Test native method call (JNI) fails, but forms server keeps running. The error is:
Calling RunformProcess.nInitLib()...
RunformProcess.nInitLib() failed:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/forms/servlet/RunformProcess
Your server configuration needs correcting. Please refer to the Forms documentation for details
If i comment the f60srv.jar as showed here i suceed the test
# Oracle Forms and Reports Servers
# wrapper.classpath=C:\ORACLE\806\forms60\java\f60srv.jar
wrapper.classpath=C:\ORACLE\806\forms60\java
So... anyone help ?
Ricardo

2-I opened my form and connected my database successfuly.
3- when i started to run my form the same message appeared ( frm-10142: the http listener is not running on 127.0.0.1 at port 8888 . please start the listener or check your runtime perference)

Connectivity of database through applet

Hi to all,
I want to how to make the connectivity of database(preferably mySql) to java application through applet....

Possible answers to a more focused question:
Make sure the jar file containing the JDBC driver is in your applet's classpath.
Read the JDBC tutorial.
Make sure that the network connectivity between your client and the database is working.
Any of those sound right? No? Want to ask a more specific question?

I have posted this question y'day & somebody asked me to post in this forum. So I thought I would. My question is :
How to I connect to database. I know some thing to get connected to database. If I am not wrong,
I will be needing a driver, datasource. If i am missing anything then please let me now.
I will be using jdbcodbc bridge driver which we get by default when we download jdk. But how do i create datasource. I want to use Tomcat as my server.
Please help me in this regard. I have heard of mySQL as free database. Is it true & how do I use it.

Here's more help:

What does Tomcat have to do with this? Is this for a J2EE app? If you're just using straight Java (no J2EE, JSP, etc), then you don't need Tomcat.
jdbcodbc is for talking to Microsoft Access databases from Java - if you are using MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, or most of the others, you will need a database specific driver module.

}To give an applet special privileges you can specify the prifs in the java.policy file or sign the applet and choose "yes I trust" or "yes I allways trust" when the applet is loaded.
To give special prifs with the java.policy, it should look like this:
grant {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "usePolicy"; // prevents the popup from showing for signed applets
grant codeBase "file:C:/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
grant codeBase "http://localhost/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
