How to access filesystem in Java 1.6

I have a signed JApplet running just fine, accessing various places on my harddrive to read and write files, with Java 1.5.x. But this morning my Java version upgraded to Java 1.6 and this functionality has stopped working. I get the :

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (.....) exception.

Is this a bug or? i have tried this simple test to see if i have access to "my documents" but that don't work either :

JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser("");

if(fileChooser.showOpenDialog(getApplet()) == FileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){ }

I'm amazed that i can't find any solutions via. google!

Any ideas?

/Michael

Uh, what exactly has this applet been signed by? If the signing certificate is invalid, out of date or - most likely - not known to the Java 1.6 runtime, your applet won't be validated, and file access will be denied.

HiI'm signing with VeriSign and it works with Java 1.5.x.. Do i have to get new information from VeriSign to use Java 1.6?/Michael
