The driver is not the problem--it can be compiled and used under JDK
1.1 (which is what most browsers support). Though I have not looked
at JDBC_Test.java (as a matter of fact it doesn't seem to be in my
7.1.2 source tree), it is most likely using the Swing toolkit, which
is new with the Java 2 platform.

If you compile a 1.1 version of the JDBC driver and write an applet to
the 1.1 API, it should work.

Keep in mind also that there were a lot of new features put into the
JDBC API for Java 2.
