Hi everyone !!! Plz i don't know if my post is in accordance with your policy...for any problem please i present all my desolations.

I'm a bsc student in CIT . I have a project i which i want to use java applet and jdbc in a sort of host/client :

my system : fedora 8 , netbeans 6.5 , xampp, mysql .

You're probably running up against an issue with the Applet running in a sandbox, it can only communicate with the server from which it came - so if your database is on a different machine it can't be found.

A preferable architectural approach is to have your server do all the JDBC and communicate the information requested via HTTP to the client which is thinner dealing mainly presenting the user interface.

Hi! thanks for this tutorial ,i found it so helpful… Is it possible to deploy an applet on a web server ? i try it with xampp but it’s working given that i can access the applet from a client side through the LAN. But the problem is that i receive the Gui but the JDBC connection is lost ie i can retrieve data from the web server database …

Once thanks for your help…
