For security reasons, an applet can only connect to the host from which is was loaded. See, e.g., http://java.sun.com/sfaq/#socket.
The two things I have done to get around this are (1) set up a proxy on that host or (2) delegate actions to servlets. In your case, you could also consider writing proxy SOAP service classes. Your applet would make SOAP calls to the host from which it was loaded. The services on that host would be clients of the real services, forwarding parameters received from the applet to the real service, then forwarding responses from the real service to your applet.

Is it possible to access a web service from an applet? I am a part time Information Systems student, and I want to have an applet that connects to a stock quote service (among other things). I have installed the Apache toolkit and tested the sample stock quote client, and it works perfectly. I have even used several other web services on Xmethods.com, each successfully. When I convert the code to an applet, I am now getting: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 66.28.98.121:9090 connect,resolve) How can I overcome this?
