Have a look at this page http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.security/UsePolicy.html. For editing policy-files you can use the policytool.exe that ships with Java. If the HTTP-server and the DB-server are on different machines, the permission you have to give is "NetPermission". I think this class is in the package java.net.
An example entry in a policy-file could be: grant codeBase "http://123.123.123.123/ap/-"; { permission java.net.NetPermission "setDefaultAuthenticator"; }; And one thing: That's not really a servlet question. Hope this helps, Timmi. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: A mailing list for discussion about Sun Microsystem's > Java Servlet API Technology. > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Im Auftrag von Nandish Angadi > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 10.
