Opening of socket conections

[Ravi]

I have an applet having username and the pasword text boxes.

I have developed a server which receives the password and the username

and a thread connects me to the oracle and i authorise the user sending back the

corresponding mesage to the client applet.When i use the appletviewer it works fine but the coonections are opened from a browser.

Netscape gold and communicator (prior to ver4.5) it used to work but not from

explorer.Can you guys give me suggestion.

Security in JDK 1.1 follows the sandbox model.

It means that applets are allowed to make connections ONLY to the host that they

were downloaded from.

If you your applet is located on the HTTP server, also your server app MUST run

on the HTTP server host.
