access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission file.encoding read

Your applet needs permission to read properties. You can give it permission by signing the jar file or by making changes to the local JRE's .java.policy file.

Signed the jar ( i get a prompt do i want to trust this program cuz it signiture could not be verified) and still get this

Files on server are read/execute chmod 755 (+write for admin)

I keep the classes on the server in folders - when i try to connect by clicking on a button there is a prompt ( something about that soe components are not signed) if i click yes i get some loading problem (Class.forName Exception) and if i click no then it is loaded but i get an exception about the acces reading. How to add that jar in a good way ? IM tearing my hair out .... I tried adding a lib katalog and copying the jar into it and addigng is as a refference to an internal jar ... But still nothing :/.

access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "file.encoding" "read")

For testing you could change the local .java.policy file to give all codebases permission to read properties.
Use the policytool program and make any entry something like this:

permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read";
