an applet security problem

hi forum,

i have an applet that communicates with a server application,and i created a short HTML document to invoke the applet. In a network of workstations that share a common file system, i do the following: (1) starts up the server on a remote machine, and (2) goes to my browser抯 搊pen file厰 dialogue and clicks on the HTML document. The applet fails with a security exception.

what should i do instead?

thanks for your reply

An applet can only communicate with the server it came from.

Since we only know it fails with a security exeption (and not what kind or what the applet

is doing at that time) I assume it cannot connect to your server.

You can either sign the applet

Or all clients set up a policy for the applet.
