Applet to Oracle 8i Connection

[r.appleby]

I m using the following code to connect to an Oracle DB through
an applet but I keep getting the error shown below. What am I
doing wrong?<P>
My applet resides on a server, and has the drivers in the same
directory as the .class files.
<P>
public Connection ConnectDatabase() {<P>
// Load Oracle jdbc driver.<P>
try {<P>
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.dnlddriver.OracleDriver");<P>
}<P>
catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {<P>
e.printStackTrace();<P>
}<P>
// Choose server.<P>
String url = null;<P>
url = "jdbc:oracle:dnlddriver:@www.mydomain.com:1234:orasid";<P>
// Connect to database.<P>
Connection con = null;<P>
try {<P>
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "usern", "pword");<P>
}<P>
catch(Exception e) {<P>
System.out.println(url + " connection failed" + '\n');<P>
}<P>
<P>
return con;<P>
}<P>
