I am using Ucanacess 4.0.1.

Before this I checked connectivity by inserting data in table exam through a Java program but it's not working when I added the code in my applet. I used following command to run applet

appletviewer ExamSystem.html

output:

Exception: UCAExc:::4.0.1 access denied ("java.util.logging.LoggingPermission" "control")

Answer 1

The appletviewer utility apparently runs the applet code in a restricted environment, most likely similar to the "sandbox" that would be used for an unsigned applet. UCanAccess was not designed to run in such an environment.
