Putting the Applet program on webpage

[sarwar1234]

Hello,

Its the window that warns me about the security things as I double click on the html file to open it in a browser....

But it is basically the same thing... The applet when called in html file that open in a browser, restrict the applet to access the system files....

Can the problem be solved by importing some security libraries in the applet...or any idea...


Many Thanks...

Regards

That sounds like an OS window, not part of java. I don't know how the OS gets involved.
Or is it from the browser? Have you signed the jar file for the applet?
Can you screen print it and post the image?

Hello...

I dont know what you mean by "sign the jar file for applet"....

The folder in which I have put all the files is on the desktop... and the snap shot is attched.....

Note that I have added many files... that relates to the project... But all of them might not be neccessary....

Sorry, I don't know what I'm supposed to see in the image you posted.

Where is "the window that warns me about the security things"?

I don't know where that error window comes from. I don't remember seeing it before.
The message says: "The application contains both signed and unsigned code"
That must refer to the other jar files you are using that have signed code. Your class is the unsigned part.

What OS are you on?

I'm on WinXP. I use the .java.policy file on my system to give some of my applets permission to read files from other folders. There was a bit of trial and error to get it setup and working. The annoying part is that I don't know how to determine if the JVM is using a particular .java.policy file. Hence the trial and error part. Changing the file's contents and location.
Write a small standalone applet that tries to read a file in another directory. Keep changing the policy file contents and location until the applet is able to read the file.

Hi Norm,

I am using windows vista....

I found that policy file which is at the location

C:\Program files\ Java\ jre6\lib\security\

Then I pasted that all permission code file there... and it worked....
Many Thanks...

But now when i run the applet, the browse button allows me to laod the file.... But when I press the process button, no charts appers... nothing happens further.... and the console window shows this:

OptionPanel.java:158)

Is that your class? What variable at line 158 is null?

I found that policy file which is at the location

Which policy file? The one in the JRE's folders is NOT the .java.policy file entended for user policies.
If you update JRE then the changes you have made to the java.policy file could be replaced with new files.
Better to update the .java.policy file.

Also giving applets all permissions means any applet from anywhere can do anything to you PCs files.

Normal (unsigned) applets are just not allowed to access the file system of the client. They can only talk with the server where they are loaded from. There are no any direct workarounds: this is a security feature and workarounds would be closed as security holes when discovered!

If your applet needs to process some input, one of the approaches would be to have a text field where the user can enter the input directly. If it is absolutely required to access the file system, signed applet needs to be used but these are expensive to have.
