    Default Created simple game applet but wanting it to access a DSN on the server

    Hello all

    Good to be with guys who know how to code been searching for a while. Basically, I know probably as this applet is not signed thats probably the problem (not sure how to ) but for a college assignment I have created an applet, basically a recreation of the classic space invaders and at the end of it, it should record the name, email, score, and game to an ODBC based database. Ive got it to work via a localhost server, with a few adjustment to the permissions, but cannot get it to work on the server as regards writing to the database.

    Within my project I run 2 java files as different threads, for automation purposes, and here is the code:

    SpaceInvaders.java
    import java.applet.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;

    I'm not fully sure what your question is, but you mentioned signing the applet. If you are receiving a SecurityException (which I assume you are) then you need to do so. The following link provides step by step instructions which worked for me first time through the first time I tried

    It is being hosted on a website so I don't think that's applicable tested the odbc database and worked flawlessly with my locally hosted iis project just need some way of getting it to connect to the server odbc :/

    Did you try signing the applet? Applets don't run on the server, they run on the client, and there are security issues involved. When you run the applet, are there exceptions?
