WHY can't I access my database from an applet???????????

The security code won't let my applet access its own database (from its own server)..
I'm using getDocumentBase()
to try and tell it that it is my own damn file..
I keep getting :
java.securityAccessControlException: access denied <java.util.PropertyPermission jdbc.drivers write>
...etc.
This applet crap is really starting to piss me off. I can see why they came out with JSP.
All I need to do is access my database, update it, etc. It kind of defeats the purpose of being able to do jdbc from applets if you can't even access the database on your own damn server.
If you all don't have a clue, I'm freakin switching to PHP--I'm tired of this crap-I was thinking Java was a damn good language until I hit applets.

The simple answer to your question is: Because of security concerns.
The somewhat longer answer is that directly accessing a database from an applet is generally not a good idea. A lot of security-critical code like DB username/password must be hidden in the applet which potentially can be downloaded (and disassembled) by anyone that hits your webpage. Maybe you do an intranet solution with trusted users but that is not what applets were originally designed for.
The clean way is to make your applet talk to a servlet that talks to your database.
If that is not the way you want to do it, make sure that all client policy files (yes, on the browser machine) contain the permissions that your applet needs.

    Why can't I access the Store from my iTunes on my PC?

    You must've blocked cookies. iTunes requires cookies I believe. If you did block it follow these steps:
    Go to settings > safari > block cookies > never.

  • Why can't I access my VM from home?

    I dropped my phone yesterday while working and had to get a replacement phone.  I'm using my wife's Samsung at the moment, but have been trying to access my VM from home, why won't it work? I dial my cell # and the recording goes on and on even with using *86, pound, or anything so I can input my password, and nothing works, it wants me to leave a message.  I'm frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks for the info but I've tried it probably a dozen times so far and it won't do it.  Not sure why and it's annoying.  Even my wife's tried it from her cell phone and it doesn't work.  At this point and time, I'm ready to say forget it and when my replacement phone finally comes in, my wife can access the VM for me.

  • Can the SYSDBA access the database from anywhere?

    Hi, I have looked around the Internet for the answer to this question but couldn't seem to find anything. For example if I have a database which is going to be fragmented around a number of sites in the country will I be able to carry out database admin with the /as sysdba role?

    It is not clear what you mean by 'fragmented' I figure out you are talking about several databases geographically distributed with data replication among them. You can perform the dba role virtually anywhere in the planet, it is not a problem, you only need to configure the password file so you can connect with the sysdba role from anywhere.
    You should ensure the remote_login_passwordfile is set either to exclusive or shared and you have a valid password file. By default this was created by the dbca at database creation time, but you can create it manually with the orapwd utility.
    It is important to specify both, the OS and DB versions, since there are several tools that should be configured, such as isqlplus, enterprise manager, or simply sqlplus, depending on the ports you are planning to open.

  • Why can't I access my gmail from firefox?

    I see there are many folks having this same problem. Why??? I'm using windows 7. It's only the gmail that I can not access. I can access other google pages, just not gmail. Very frustrating!

    It may have to do with plugins, addons, and or cache and cookies. I use gmail and have no issues with it.
    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

  • HT1430 Why can't I access my Hotmail from my iPad3

    My Hotmail account on my iPad3 worked fine until recently.  Now it won't connect (the connection to the server failed).  I have tried rebooting my iPad, deleting the email account and reloading it and nothing has worked so far, any suggestions?

    Thanks for the info but I've tried it probably a dozen times so far and it won't do it.  Not sure why and it's annoying.  Even my wife's tried it from her cell phone and it doesn't work.  At this point and time, I'm ready to say forget it and when my replacement phone finally comes in, my wife can access the VM for me.

  • Why can't Mail access email addresses from Contacts?

    So, here is a typical scenario: I have an email to write to a friend of mine. Being a close friend of mine, his email address is saved in Contacts. I boot up Apple Mail, and create a new email. So far so good. I start typing my friend's name into the "To:" field, but nothing comes up in the auto-search. I remember how his email starts, so I start typing his email in, but once again, nothing comes up. I boot up Contacts, just to be sure, and his email is in there. Finally I copy and paste it into Mail.
    WHAT THE ****??? AM I MISSING SOMETHING??
    I know that I can look up Contacts from within Mail, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want Mail to automatically start search through my Contacts whenever I start typing into the To: field. But instead, it only searches through my previous recipients? I've also noticed that it doesn't pull up email addresses that were CC'd on emails I've recieved. In order to find those, I have to do a Spotlight search in Mail (which immediately finds the email address and even identifies it as a person), and then copy and paste it from Mail into Mail.
    Am I missing some setting? When did the automatic search in the To: field become useless? Did I go into a coma and wake up in a world where Apple hates a positive user experience? Which OS update killed this functionality and why?
    Really, any light on the subject or work-arounds would be appreciated. I've tried Postbox, and while the To: search works sensibly there, the program is slow as molassas. It is as awful to use as Mail, just in different ways. I'd switch to browser based email, but I have three addresses, and Gmail only imports POP accounts, one of mine is IMAP only . . . honestly, I'm to the point where I want to just stop using email all together. I have other complaints, but this is the most inexplicable and annoying.
    Maybe I'll invest in carrier pidgeons.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Quit Mail.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

  • Why can't I access my printer from my IPad?

    My new wireless HP photosmart 6430 printer works perfectly with my laptop computer windows XP and worked for a short time with my IPad and IPhone but has stopped working with both apple devices. I have contacted HP and my IOS provider and there is no problem on their end.

    I can't seem to find that specific model of printer anywhere, and it doesnt appear in the list of AirPrint capable printers in this Apple article, so I would guess the reason you can't access it is its not a airPrint printer.

    If you were using some type of software on your XP copmputer to share the printer to the Apple devices, you may need to restart it.

  • Why can't I access the internet from my ipad2

    This problem started after the most recent update. Hotspot is on my iPhone4, carrier is Verizon. Did not have this problem before update. Do I need to restore iPad to original? What do you think?

    Hello, thanks for the help but it did not work. I wonder what the problem is? =/
    What did not work?
    Did the airport router you are trying to connect to not show up under the airport symbol in the menubar?
    If it did show up, did it have any symbols by it like a padlock for instance?
    In other words, exactly what did you do and exactly what did you experience?
    If your Mac does not even list the router in the menubar under the icon/symbol (triangle with curved lines, supposed to appear to be radio waves radiating) then the router may have a setting set that does not allow it to be seen except to computers with MAC addresses that have been entered into it as allowable. If this is the case then your MAC address will have to be entered into the router's list. MAC stands for Media Access Control. "Mac" is the abbreviation for Macintosh.
    The fact that you mention you have two new symbols in your menu bar suggests that someone has been playing with the computer and making changes that you are unaware of. If this is the case then there are many possibilities for problems.
    The fact is, a Mac fresh out of the box will see any router within range and connect to it unless the router requires a password or the router has Access Control set such that it cannot be seen by a computer that does not exist in its 'OK' list. Since yours works at school, that rules out a hardware or problem or most software problems with your computer. But networking is complicated enough that you have to be quite specific when you try to tell others what you have tried and what results you got.

  • Why can't I access external edit from LR4 (still OK in LR3)

    I just upgraded from LR3 to LR4 and find that external editing does not work (Develop Module - Photo - Edit In). Nothing happens, no virtual copy is created and the externa; application does not launch. I have checked the external edit setup in LR Preferences and these are correct.
    LR3 however continues to work correctly - saving a tiff and opening the external editor.
    Is this a bug in LR4?

  • I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

    I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like  the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

    Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
    I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
    APPLE. What are you doing?

  • Why can't   i access my itunes library from anywhere?

    Why can't I access all of my iTunes library when I am of at home connected to wifi.. The whole reason I bought iTunes Match was do I could access my entire library from anywhere?

    On iTunes using your computer have you completed the iTunes Match 3-step process?
    If so, within Song view you can enable a field called iCloud status - sorting Songs on this field will show what is available from the cloud.
    It sounds like all you need to do is to enable mobile internet on your iPhone to allow access over 3G as well as WiFi.
