need help Connect failure in an applet

Does anyone know why a connect call will fail with an
AccessControlException:access denied(java.net.SocketPermission
127.0.0.1:5432 connect, resolve) from a browser delivered applet?

The applet works fine in the debugger.

I have PostgreSQL running in windows.
