hi!
This won't work for sure: java.sql.Connection is an interface, so a class
can't extend it :)
A concrete implementation of Connection comes with your jdbc-driver (just
like HttpSession is an interface which is implemented by the author of your
servlet-container).
Anyway: Where would you save the serializable Connection object so that
another applet can use it? Can't you connect your applet to a servlet that
passes serialized objects back to it after request or let your servlet talk
XML with your applet. This way your servlet can keep a ConnectionPool to
recycle Connection objects/create fewer connection objects, and your servlet
can cache the data so that your database only needs to be accessed if the
data changed.
