So having a database username and password aren't enough?  I'm thinking
along the lines of a Perl DBI or ODBC connection: if you've got the
database username and password correct, you can connect to the database.
Whether the database accepts connections over the Internets [sic] or locally
is a database configuration issue.

You're implying that there's another layer to consider when using a Java
app?
