My signed applet throws AccessControlException
Dear java experts,
I am trying to hack some of my own code into a file upload applet I got off Sourceforge. I know two things so far... my code works when it's in my separate test applet and the ZUpload applet works before I modify it.
I have put my code into ZUpload and it compiles ok. I have packed it all up into a new jar and signed it.
The new jar contains:
/MyModifiedZUpload.class
/MyNewAdditional.class
/ [the various packages needed by ZUpload]
When I try and use the new jar I get the dreaded:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir read)
I have been searching for info about this error but it seems it's usually due to unsigned applets... but I've signed mine into a new jar so it can't be that...? If anyone can point me in the right direction it's much appreciated. Yes, I am a humble newbie.
In case it's significant, my new code reads in a text file via a URLConnection.
Also, kind of related... is there any way to test the applet while developing without having to keep jarring up the files and signing them...? seems hugely tedious and cumbersome!
cheers...
