Alex,
Immediately after sending the inquiry I discovered that default applet
behavior is as you desribe and that one must change the java.policy file to
allow the connection.
When I did that, I now get a different error, that the postmaster is
refusingthe connection. The solution to this problem is supposed to be
adding tcpip_socket = true to the postgresql.conf file and restarting the
postgresql service. When I did that, I got an error when restarting the
service.
Now I am rebooting to see if that helps.
Jay

Subject: Re: [GENERAL] need help Connect failure in an applet
An applet is only permitted to connect back to the originating server
IP that served the HTTP request. If you try to connect to a different
address, it will fail with a permissions exception. 127.0.0.1 is the
localhost loopback address, and would not work from a remote host
either.
