Unable to connect to database through Applet

[ykhamitkar]

Hi there,

I am trying to create a web based dataentry application in java applet.
When I create a standalone application using applet the database connectivity works fine. However when I use same applet in web page the, connectivity doesnt work.

my backend is MS Access file and I am using JDBC ODBC database connectivity.

Please advice

Thanks

What happens when you run it from the web page?

Hi,

When I run it on web page and do any data entry. It doesnt give me any error but doesnt even update data in the MS Access database

Please advice

Are you sure? Do you have the Java console window open in your browser? Put some System.out.println statements in your code so that you can see the code's progress, and make sure there is nowhere you catch an exception only to squelch it:

} catch(SomeException e) {
//silence
}

Generally speaking, connecting to a database from an applet is a bad idea, because most of the time, your database server and your web server are different machines, while applets are restricted to only connecting back to the web server.

I'm biased because I dislike applets, but I would rewrite this as a proper web application with servlets and JSP.
