I worked around my problem by going back to version 5.4 of the jtopen toolbox. The jdbc classes in that version works fine. No reflection error. I confirmed it was not something else by using the 6.2 and 6.0 versions of the toolbox and both gave me reflection errors. Back to 5.4 and it run fine. IBM did give me a revised 6.2 version that did remove the reflection error but then I got an error that the server rejected the connection. Again, using the 5.4 version worked OK with the same connection string and userid and password. I am doing some traces for IBM so they can see what's up with the 6.2 version as I would prefer to use the most recent driver and know that it works for future maintenance.

I do have one question related to security and applets. I saw in the local java console log that the trace showed the username and password in clear text when the connection to the database failed. Is there some way to protect those two pieces of information when using an applet so someone does not start having fun with a username and password they should not know? The user is locked down to only access the things the applet needs to have access to but I still don't like the idea of the potential risk. My only other idea is to write a server exit point process for the JDBC service and log requests from this user and alert someone if there is strange activity
