Applet Security Issue in Vista?

I'm having a strange problem where I'm getting a permission violation while trying to read a file in an applet. This file is on the server-side and should therefore not be subject to any read/write restrictions. Strangely enough, I think at one point it was working fine. I'm desperate for ideas about this.

File structure:

index.html

data -> ONETOR2005.txt

applets.jar

inside a class in applets.jar there is a read on the file "./data/ONETOR2005.txt" which causes the permission failure. Please email me with any ideas!

Is this what you needed?

My guess is that the problem is in CsvReader -- that you are passing it a File object. Can it take a URL or an InputStream?Recall that applets need to access resources on the server through URLs andnever through File objects.
