Access Denied: Property Permission settings
I am creating an applet that needs to have read access for files on a local system. As part of the process of retrieving these files the applet has to access System properties to get the path and such like. Of course running in the sandbox such actions are not allowed and I get an error java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir,read
Having researched this I realise that I need to set property permissions so that the applet is allowed to read System properties. I have tried signing the applet and the creating a policy file which I ran with the following command:
appletviewer -J-Djava.security.policy=read.jp http://aURL.com/MySignedApplet.jar
When I run this it pauses a few seconds but never runs the applet before returning to a command prompt ..... any ideas? I am totally stuck. Appreciate any help that anyone can give. Thanks
