Please Help student with HTTP error

[Tom]

Hi everyone,

Okay what im trying to do is make my java program connect to my local
database that is stored on my computer. The database is microsoft sql
2000 and i am using the Microsoft sql server 2000 driver for JDBC.
When i run the program i am getting these errors.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.io.IOException: open HTTP
connection failed.
at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.getBytes(AppletClassLoader.java:244)
at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.access$100(AppletClassLoader.java:39)

at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:289)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:479)
load: class BookProject/AddressBook.class not found.

My connection code looks like this

private void connect() throws Exception
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"CloudScape Inside Connect");

try
{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("selectMethod","cursor");
p.put("user","sa");
p.put("password","a1dragon");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://TOMLAP2:1433",p);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ex.toString());
}


try{
connection.setAutoCommit( false );
PreparedStatement s1 = connection.prepareStatement("select
'statement1'");
PreparedStatement s2 = connection.prepareStatement("select
'statement2'");

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, ex.toString());
}
}

If anyone could offer any help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for the help!

Are you using the appletviewer or view it inside a browser ? Remember that
applet can open connection to the same host it came from, so the problem
might be in the access rights.

Try running it as a java application (using main() ) and see what happens.
