yup. you need to download a JDBC driver and install it in the

might be using a different JVM.

(the other guy responding is an ass -- he knows the answer, and your
question was adequate to identify the problem)

"Database driver
cannot be found"


Please do not top-post.

Are you sure? Doesn't the driver sit on the /server/ side, and is thus
completely independent of the browser? How the heck can having a JDBC driver
download affect anything?

I am no applet expert - for this kind of question Andrew Thompson has the best
knowledge.

Oh, Christopher - Andrew is not an ass. By telling the OP that you are
cutting them off from arguably their best source of information in this forum.
  Who is the ass, someone helping the poster or someone poisoning the OP's
mind against that help and providing incorrect information?

To the OP - I suggest that you follow Andrew's suggestions. They will help you.

Andrew suggested:

No. If the problem is as we suspect, it is simply a matter
of ensuring the DB and applet codebase* is the same server.
* All the jar's for the code and drivers.


I think this answer is probably correct and Christopher's was just blowing
smoke up your, but Andrew would know.
