Applet xml file handling

Long time application coder, first time appplet coder:

I have an xml file that needs to be read by my applet (it contains a database).

I'm trying to use this:

URL url =new URL("http://(the file on my webpage)");

XMLDecoder decoder =new XMLDecoder(new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream()));

Which gives me the error:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net SocketPermission ...)

Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? I've tried several different things which don't seem to work.
