Re: using jt400 in a java applet

I thought an applet can't communicate with any server other than the one that served it. See this document I found (http://java.sun.com/sfaq/#socket):
How can an applet open a network connection to a computer on the internet?
Applets are not allowed to open network connections to any computer, except for the host that provided the .class files. This is either the host where the html page came from, or the host specified in the codebase parameter in the applet tag, with codebase taking precendence.
I've never written an applet however I'd think you'd have to serve up the applet from the as400 that you're trying to connect to.

No logon prompt. There is a userid and password supplied on the JDBC connection string.

I could be wrong, but I think you might want to create your own login
applet. My theory is that the AS400 object you are creating is attempting to
launch the AS400 sign-on dialog box. I don't think that will work in an
applet, but it would in your PC.

You could just try creating your AS400 object like AS400(systemName, user,
password) and see if that works.

I've never written an applet though, so I could be wrong, but it's my best
guess.

Hope this helps,
James R. Perkins

I found a way to run the applet (thanks to the vendor who created the tool
that built the applet) outside a browser and the applet ran OK and was able
to run from my PC and use the jt400 jar classes without a problem. The same
applet and same jt400.jar initiated from a browser does not run. It gets the
security error when trying to use jt400.jar. Must have something to do with
the browsers java sandbox and the security that does not let access outside
the sandbox. Results have been the same in IE and Firefox and Safari.

Based on what I've seen, the fully qualified domain name or the IP has
to match, exactly.

I am connecting to the same host the applet was downloaded from. Does the

name in the jdbc connection need to match the full name of the web server?
  Web server url is myserver.pct.edu, jdbc just has myserver
