Webapplication and applet communication with database

[nikosdi]

Hello to the forum... this is my first post!
I have created a web application which stores some statistical data in the database.Now i need to create an applet to represent these.The problem is that the applet runs on client machine and i want to avoid providing the applet the rights to communicate with the database.Is there is a way to pass an Object to the applet with all the neccessary information?Which is the best way to make the applet communicate with the database....... ?


//A final thought was to create a servlet which sends the ResultSet with URLConnection ....

Sounds like you need some code on the server to do the DB stuff which the applet can communicate with.
A servlet might help there

You mean a servlet to get the ResultSet and then return it to the applet?I am a bit afraid of this because it might be insecure(Maybe i am wrong so feel free to correct me!).I also thought of creating a web service returning the ResultSet but i am still unfamiliar with services!
