With terminal I have :

CLASSPATH=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Classes/:/Library/Java/Extensions/:./
SUDO_GID=20
SECURITYSESSIONID=210800

public class TestMySQL {


 public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception {

 // Load the driver class

 Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
 "jdbc:mysql:///test",
 "",

 );
 Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
 ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT now();");
 while (rset.next()) {
 System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
 }

 // Close result set, statement and DB connection
 //
 rset.close();
 stmt.close();
 conn.close();
 }
}

I have a simple TestMySQL.html file with applet TestMySQL.class in it.

Nothing but "Applet TestMySQL not inited"

When I uncomment the try/catch lines, java compiler generate an error...
With "Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");" no problem.

Running MacOS X 10.3.9, Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) PHP/4.4.1 mod_ssl/2.8.24 OpenSSL/0.9.7i and JVM 1.4.2_09

Thanks for help.
