> Long Description
> I have 1 file name main.java. It has 3 classes which need to
> access a postgresql database. All files and database reside on
> the same Linux machine (RH 7.2)
> I have downloaded the pgjdbc2.jar file and kept it in the same
> directory as the main.java file.
> I then run the command:
> ' javac -classpath ./pgjdbc2.jar main.java '
> The compiler runs and completes with no errors.
> I have an SQL exception catch in my java code that prints the
> error to screen. When I run the applet I get the following error......
>
> ' SQLException: Something unusual has occured to cause the driver
> to fail. Please report this exception:
> Exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
> (java.net.SocketPermission db resolve) '
>
> I have checked all syntax (and tried many variations), classpath
> variations and db access permissions etc and it is all good. The
> postmaster was started with the -i option (I use PGAdmin to
> connect from windows with the same credentials)

> Please help!
