RE: JDBC & Applets

Yes, that's a standard use of an applet.  And in fact you're not "getting
around" any security problems doing that, because that is exactly how
applets were designed to be used.  Where most beginners get into trouble is
by believing that an applet is a Java program that is running on the client
computer.  A better way to think of an applet is to consider it as a
component of the server computer that is visible on the client.

I've got a couple of Swing applets that get data
from the AS/400 using a Websphere servlet that sends a  
serialized array list.  That is one way around 
the security problems in applets. 

Opinions please, is this an OK approach 
when you must/want to use an applet that gets
data from the AS/400? 

Curios, PLA
