Applet Database Connectivity

I m trying following code to connect Database within Myapplet

but class.forName is throwing exception?

Any idea to remove this problem?

import java.applet.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.sql.*;

public class Myapplet extends Applet {

int width, height;

Connection con;

Statement st;

ResultSet rs;

public void init() {

width = getSize().width;

height = getSize().height;

try

{

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:abc","","");

st=con.createStatement();

}

catch(Exception e)

{

//out.println("some problem");

}

}

public void paint( Graphics g )

{

}

}
