AccessControlException

[DarthCoffee]

Hi, got a problem...:confused:
So, I've got a CountServer class (server) and an AppletClient (client), basically, I run the server in JCreator, then open up the client with HTML. Server is supposed to keep track of the number of times it is accessed by a client.
Below is the code for both:

//=============================
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class CountServer {
private RandomAccessFile raf;
private int count;

public static void main(String[] args){
new CountServer();
}

public CountServer() {
try{
ServerSocket serverSocket=new ServerSocket(8000);
System.out.println("Server started");
raf=new RandomAccessFile("count.dat","rw");

if(raf.length()==0){
count=0;
}
else{
count=raf.readInt();
}

while(true){
Socket socket=serverSocket.accept();

DataOutputStream outputToClient=new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());

count++;

outputToClient.writeInt(count);

raf.seek(0);
raf.writeInt(count);
}
}
catch(Exception x){
x.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

//===========================

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class AppletClient extends java.applet.Applet {

/** Initialization method that will be called after the applet is loaded
* into the browser.
*/
private JLabel jlblCount=new JLabel();

private boolean isStandAlone=false;

private String host="localhost";

public void init() {
// TODO start asynchronous download of heavy resources

add(jlblCount);

try{
Socket socket;
if(isStandAlone){
socket=new Socket(host,8000);
}
else{
socket=new Socket(getCodeBase().getHost(),8000);
}

DataInputStream inputFromServer=new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());

int count=inputFromServer.readInt();
jlblCount.setText("You are visitor number "+count);

inputFromServer.close();
}
catch(Exception x){
x.printStackTrace();
}
}

public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame frame=new JFrame("Applet Client");

AppletClient applet=new AppletClient();
applet.isStandAlone=true;

if(args.length==1){
applet.host=args[0];
}
frame.getContentPane().add(applet,java.awt.BorderL ayout.CENTER);

applet.init();
applet.start();

frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

//==================
so there...and I get the following exception when I open the HTML:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:8000 connect,resolve)

Error is at the following line:
socket=new Socket(getCodeBase().getHost(),8000);

why is that? P.S, the code is from my lecture notes...@.@

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
