Something to consider: if you have access to the web server, convert the
applet to a Java servlet. This will elminate the policy issue and not
require interaction with your users. Servlets that access databases and
produce HTML results are pretty straightforward.

Maybe I have set up something incorrectly. I have the drivers, swing classes and
applet classes jar'd and sitting in the html directory where the html file sits
under the httpd directory on the server. If I have something wrong here, maybe
that is the solution, which would be better in the short term.
Otherwise if IIOP or an ORB solution would work, I would be interested in trying
that. I am not sure but I think that if the Oracle database was moved to another
location, or possibly even if the oracle tables were links to another Oracle
database on another machine other than the web server, problems with JDBC may
arise.
Thanks,
