Signed applet and javascript communication
Hi All,
I have an (jar) signed applet which I use to access system properties (e.g user.home). I also have a javascript code that communicates (call to a public function) with the applet to get the property "user.home" from the applet. Everything works fine in Java plugin 1.3 but since I have installed the latest plugin 1.4.2_01 from http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp website I can not access the system properties even though everything in the code is same.
I can however still access public functions/variables from the same applet which do not access system properties in the new plugin 1.4.2_01.
The browser I am using is IE and OS is Windows 2000.
Does anybody know if Sun has changed the security policy for 1.4.2_01, in the new plugin for java-javascript communication to block access to functions which uses system property,fileIO, socket etc. even if they are signed applet?
Thanks in advance..
