Making simple hiscore over internet

[jurka]

I thought to make simple game with one addition, you could send your score to high score. But i haven't find out any good ways to communicate swing app and database. All that must be done with free hosting ? Any ideas ?;)

Your host must support a JDBC compliant database. Most databases support JDBC, and your host probably has a database, if they support servlets.

For JDBC, see Sun's Java Tutorial.

Does anyone know some free host, it would be just for "fun and test your skills project", so i dont want to waste money for that. Most free hosts has denied the client side java connections to database.

Database connections over the Internet are security risks. The normal way to do such a thing is to post the score to a servlet, which then accesses the database.
