It's a security problem. A java application (especially an applet) doesn't have read/write rights for file access.
Personaly what i do is access files from a read/write servlet. Your JFile Chooser may be useful for retreiving the path of the file that you want to open, and then pass it to the servlet, that reads the file and send it back to you...
Hi,
I am trying to use JFileChooser api in an applet to allow user to browse through the files and select one file. But it is giving me the following Exception.
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir read)

I am using signed applet.
Can any one tell me how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
