Re: java.security.AccessControlException opening from an applet



It would be useful to see the complete stack trace. It looks like you are 
trying to read a local file?? As Tom said, applets dont have that right.

In general, applets are not permitted to communicate with a host other
than the one they were loaded from.  In previous JVMs, this rule when
using a local URL was relaxed.  In later versions of Java it is more
strictly enforced (as it always has been for loading applets from
remote hosts).

You might (I havent tried it) be able to use the
AccessController.doPrivileged() method to enable this -- I just don't
know if it would pop-up a user dialog for each I/O though.  Some more

Hello,

I'm developing a tool to display netCDF files. The program has two versions,
a desktop one and an applet version. When I load from a URL using the applet
version java throws this exception:

The system uses netCDF 2.2.14 version with slf4j-simple.jar and
log4j-1.2.13.jar for Http connections. In a previous version using netCDF
2.1.10 this problem didn't happen. Is there any solution to this problem
without having to change java security policy files?

Santi
