questionDir=getParameter("questionDir");
dirName=getCodeBase()+"";
System.out.println(dirName);
dirName=(dirName.substring(0,dirName.length()));
System.out.println(dirName);
dirName=dirName.substring(6,dirName.lastIndexOf('/'));
System.out.println(dirName);
dirName=dirName+questionDir;
System.out.println(dirName);
File f=new File(dirName);
if(f.isDirectory())
{
noOfFiles=f.list();
}

readFile();// it is method calling from init()method
==============================================
public void readFile()
{

String line;
InputStream in;

try
{
fileToRead=dirName+File.separator+"Question"+(countFile+1)+".java";
in = new FileInputStream(fileToRead);
BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
strBuff = new StringBuffer();
while((line = bf.readLine()) != null)
{
strBuff.append(line + "\n");
}
questionArea.append(strBuff.toString());
}
catch(IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

i need to read file from directory


An applet without permission can NOT look/read at the local file system. It can get(read) files from the server without permission.

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission \localhost:7001\appletcodenull read)
...
at java.io.File.isDirectory(Unknown Source)
at Backup.init(Backup.java:131)


The above shows that at line 131 in Backup you are trying to look at the local file system. NOT ALLOWED!

I posted some code that can be used to read/get a file from the server.
Did you see that?

No it can't. A web server is not a file server.

The only ways an applet can read "files" from the server are these:

1. The web server is willing to package the content of the desired file in an HTTP response and serve it back in response to an HTTP request.

2. The applet is signed and the server file is visible through a file server. This file server may be on the same machine as the web server, but a file server is a completely different application from the web server, using different protocols, different network ports and different client and server software.

Interesting differentation:
From Google:

HTTP: every web server program operates by accepting HTTP requests from the client, and providing an HTTP response to the client.


a file server is a completely different application from the web server



Could you explain?
I'm not familiar with weblogic, perhaps their server works differently from common ones on the internet. Then your quotes above could say that (ie use weblogic server vs just web server).

When I said an applet could read/get files from its server, I didn't mean any file on the server. Of course there are restrictions.

How/why are you running an Applet in the server?
Applets normally run in a client's browser.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
