Re: JDBC - URL string settings?

Hi, are you using an applet or an application? I have the same problem with an applet, but it works fine as an application. I guess, this is a Java security problem? As far as I can see, your URL seems to be OK. If you have a solution, I would be thankfull to hear it from you. bye Christoph Borowski borowski@uni-paderborn.de James Lavery wrote: > > I am trying to connect to my database using JDBC, and am getting the > exception: > "Attempt to connect to database server (%s) failed" > > My environment: > 1.
