You should try an application first before complicating things with applet
issues. Once you get JDBC working with an application you can go on to an
applet.

Creating an instance is not necessary, just load the class:

Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");

This looks ok.

To obtain some more info about the failure print a stack trace:

excpt0.printStackTrace();

Are you running the postmaster with the -i flag? Did you configure
Postgresql to permit TCP connections from the host where your
application/applet runs?
