Policy file and Signed Applet

My applet is working fine with my self signed certificate. I am writing a small c++ program for windows to add my self-certificate to the correct keystore when downloaded and run. Well to all java keystores...

Now I want to limit the permission my applet has out of security concerns. How can I do this on end users computers? I know how to do it on my own.

I think append is the only non graphical way to add permissions to the policy file.

Is there a way to simply append the java user policy file? if i append the user policy file, will it even be used, or will it stop with the system policy file? what is this "usePolicy" people are talking about?

Thanks!

Strange case, policy is used for other people to limit your applet. Why would youself need policy since you are the one who decides what the applet will do after all and you said you know how to do it inside your applet. So why bother?

it adds a level insurance myself that if my app goes haywire, it cant mess up everything.
