Applet is not working properly on windows 7 with java update 23

[Sagar tandale]

I am using applet in web application to serve as Image Viewer.

Problem Description :

1.Client machine configuration: Windows 7, java update 23 , IE8

2.When my web application is not secure (i.e. accessible via HTTP), applet is
able to download image from server.

3.But when my web application is secure (i.e. accessible via HTTPS), applet
is unable to download image from server.

4.When applet try to download image using HTTPS, somehow it takes it as
crossdomain access.

5.When Client machine has Windows vista or Windows xp OS no such problem
is there, applet works fine.

Note : Applet method to download image is called from javascript.

6.Java log console -

Are you sure you're using update 23 and not 24 already? Cause with our upload applet we received the same kind of error after updating to 24:
ava.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission ...:80 connect,resolve)
. Going back to 23 resolved the problem. But we just upgraded to 24 to allow the applet to work in IE9 RC (see: Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate Error: “We were unable to return you to {your webpage}, Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem.” for explanation).

Emptying java.policy also fixed the problem (granting all access to anyone). But of course that's not a great solution for any internet-connected pc! ;-)

UPDATE: Check the following discussion for info on the "AccessControlException" which a lot of people get after upgrading to 24:
