Signed Applet and no permission
Hi,
we have an applet which writes a file on the local disc. Therefore this applet is signed with a valid verisign certificate. Everything works perfect, as long we use the vm 1.4.2_08. Now we changed the vm to 1.4.2_10 and writing a file is no more possible.
I never used a policy file, because we have a proper signed applet. I found many articles, which all say that if you have a signed applet a modification of security files is not neccessary.
If I modify the java.policy and add these lines:
permission java.awt.AWTPermission "readDisplayPixels";
permission java.awt.AWTPermission "createRobot";
permission java.io.FilePermission "${user.home}/screenshot.jpg", "read,write,delete";
everything works ok. But our applet runs on more than 40.000 clients. I am not willing to modify all clients. There must be another solution.
Any hint is appreciated.
I have checked some more vm. The problem occurs also with the vm 1.4.2_04.
thx thorsti
