HELP ! Policy file to allow signed applets to access local printer/.
I have a signed applet which is accessing the default client printer. I am currently upgrading to use Java 1.4.2_08 plugin version...There is javascript which accesses the applet methods so even though it is signed I still need to use java policy file ...what permission should i setup so that the applet can print on client printer?
I tried all options I can and have no ideas left..It used to work perfectly with my java 1.3 plugin..
The only way this seems to work is to use the following which we dont want as the client machines are now open to all applets downloaded from any webserver.
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
Since 1.4.2 the stack is checked correctly (according to specs).
This means allthough the current method of the signed applet is "trusted" the
method that called the current method is not (javascript).
Sollution could be doprivileged or set a parameter from javascript that is
checked by a seporate thread in the applet (see link below).
