Yes, hostname.com *IS* a valid host, and it DOES exist.
I use:
-- snip --
postgresql.Driver driver = new postgresql.Driver();
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(driver);
}
catch(Exception e) {
textStatus.setText(e.toString());
}
-- snip --
to register the driver.
This part works though. The problem is when I try to make
a connection:
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL);
This generate an exception as I mentioned above, and returns
"cannot access <hostname>". I searched through the java-classes,
but I didn't find this string *anywhere*. That's why I wondered
where it came from. (it's not an standard hostnotfound exception)
However, the strange part is, that this *ONLY* happen when I run
my program as an Applet in IE40. It *DOES* work perfect if I run
the program as an application or in hotjava. I.e. It only seem
to happen in MSIE40. In other words, I know that the JDBCURL is
right and that access-lists are correct.
I was thinking that maybe the postgresql driver doesn't work correctly
when you register it with registerDriver() instead of Class.forName()?
Have you got JDBC working in IE40?
