Applets + JavaBeans

Hi,

The problem is that I'm developing some graphical reports with (java AWT-Swing) so I'm using applets.

The question: is there any way to use JavaBeans with applets. The thing is that I need to access my database throw an Applet. The code is down below (no errors...no results... and there is nothing in logs either).

The thier arrangment is :    Web browser<--> Apache <--> Tomcat <--> PostgreSQL

Any ideas... ? Any solutions... ? I'm open to sugestions even if I have to throw to the waste basket my applets and starting to use some servlets or something like that.

*************************************************
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import Biblioteca.ConexionBean;

public class Prueba extends Applet {
  public void init() {
    ConexionBean base;
    base = new ConexionBean();
    String p_cveproyecto = getParameter("p_cveproyecto");
    String sql = "";

    add(new Label("Clave del proyecto"));
    add(new Label(base.Prueba(p_cveproyecto), Label.RIGHT));
  }
}

Thanks in advance!
