Multiple server access jdbc/servlet

[Ike]

If I have an applet, which is donwloaded to the local machine from server
A, and calls a servlet on server B.....can that servlet, via JDBC, access a
database on server C, assuming each of server's A, B and C are on separate
machines with separate URLs ?

Thanks, Ike

If the applet is downloaded from server A, that applet can only
make requests from server A. So you've got a problem trying
to call server B from the applet. However, a servlet can access
any other server. Servlet code runs on your server and is not
restricted in where it can make connections.

Signed applets can access servers other
than the originator. A signed applet can
break out of most of the limits usually
placed on applets.
