Well, what I'm wondering is how I could have an applet on a website which could query a MySQL database local on the server.
I appreciate that this may not be the most secure thing in the world as Java can be dissassebled quite easily if you want to, but I'm not too worried about that as of the moment, I'm more interested in "is it possible" and "how would this affect the end-user".
Also, I'm quite interested in using java for TCP connections with other applications and how I could set up a connection and send simple data between them.
Thanks
