	I have donne applet-oracle comunications in two ways.

	One is to use Oracle's Web Agent, that works like a CGI script,
	and then on your applet just do POSTs and treat the info you'll
	get back.

	Two, use the weblogic (http://weblogic.com) java classes. They
	did a wonderfull work in integrating Oracle and Sybase with
	Java. The way I've donne so far is having a Java Server talking
	with my database (Oracle) - using Weblogic's classes -
	and my Java applet talking with the Java Server. It works
	great. (Thanks you all from Weblogic!!!). They also allow you
	to comunicate directly from the applet to the database, but I
	haven't tried this.

	Yes, I recommend Weblogic. They really did a *great* job!!!
	Oracle's Web Agent can get too slow, since it's CGI based.
	If you develop a Java Server, it's blindly fast!!
