Applets fail on network drive

Hi,

I抦 having trouble with Applets on a network drive. I get the Java.Security.AccessControlException: access denied message.

I tried creating a simple HelloWorld applet and I get the same message. If I map the network drive all applets work.

So, in my browser (I.E 6) this causes an error

\\mynetworkdrive\website\HelloWorld.html

And this works

z:\website\HelloWorld.html

Thanks

You can't access files on any drive via an applet unless:

a) they are exposed thru a web server (or some other server type) on the server that served the applet using URL/URLConnection (or other protocol for other server types)

b) it's a signed applet

b.2) it's a signed applet on Vista and your files are in a place visible to the applet based on Vista's security policies.

that z:\website\HelloWorld.html works is surprising, except that it's probably okay if you run the applet locally. But since that's not what applets are usually designed for...
