JDBC in swing

[Geetika Malik]

i am writing the following code in my class which extends JApplet

class.forName(oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver);




exception thrown is driver not found
but when i run this program in a simple class extending nothing the code works fine
Please tell if this is some version problem or something else. i am using java1.2
Thanks

Hi, If u try to get a connection to ur DB from ur Applet, the Applet Security Manager will not allow u to do this and will throw Exception. Thats the reason ur code is working in other case.
Am not sure how we will get connection to DB from an Applet..

Hi,

sorry, that´s not true.

I coded a sample where an Applet can read from / write into a database (MS Access).
My code is at my homepage www.lochmann.de
Click "downloads" password "dl".
I use the JDBC ODBC bridge (...and I would like to know how to connect database without the bridge....any ideas by the way?).

I think the problem is that the driver (ORACLE in this case) isn´t installed or not found...

If I am wrong, please let me know,
Andi
