Hello Everyone,

I am getting accesscontrolexception with applet in 1.6..0.24. Earlier it used to work fine. My applet is signed.

Thanks,
Rajeev

Have you considered investigating the problem? I'm assuming you didn't post that just for our information, but because you considered it to be a problem and wanted to do something about it. If that's the case, then you should investigate.

Note that your problem statement doesn't contain enough information for anybody to investigate your problem. That only leaves you as a resource. Of course you could always post information here. Such as error messages, stack traces, that sort of thing.

Thanks for your quick response.

My applet works with java 1.6.0.23 or earlier version but gives below error when java 1.6.0.24 is used. Here it tries to call showfilechooser method and throws accesscontrolexcpetion. below is the complete stack trace.

I have encountered the same problem. You should use privileged code, see HowCanAnAppletReadFilesOnTheLocalFileSystem

If you will post fragment of com.dell.ren.wicket.panel.upload.applet.FileDropApplet source where getFileChooser method called (method run of anonymous inner class), I could point out what should be changed.

You need change and recompile the applet java source code. If you haven't got it you should probably ask the applet developer for support.

Hi,

Below is the java fragment from applet class.

// Else, register a handler on the label to popup the chooser
// when a user clicks the left button on the applet image.
label.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON1) {
showFileChooser();
}
}
});


===================================showfilechooser method=====================

/**
* Show the JFileChooser which can be used to upload files/dirs.
*/
public void showFileChooser() {

if( !_isUploadAreaEnabled) {
return;
}

final Container container = this.getContentPane();

// Be sure to create, popup, and process the file chooser on another
// thread, since this callback is being made from the main Swing thread.
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Get the lazy-initted file chooser.
JFileChooser fileChooser = getFileChooser();

// Set the current directory to the last directory selected
if (_lastFileChooserDir != null) {
fileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(_lastFileChooserDir);
}

// Allow directories if we're configured to process them...
if (_processDirs) {
fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
} else {
fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);
}

int returnVal = fileChooser.showDialog(container, _fileChooserTitle);

// Record the current directory so we can set it the next time
// the browser is popped up.
_lastFileChooserDir = fileChooser.getCurrentDirectory();

// Process the action
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
final File file = fileChooser.getSelectedFile();

// Fake a callback to the Observable used to monitor "files dropped",
// which will kickoff an upload operation back into this object.
_dropListener.getFilesDroppedObservable().notifyObservers(new File[]{file});
}
}
});
}

In above code it errors out on line
// Get the lazy-initted file chooser.
JFileChooser fileChooser = getFileChooser();

Please help on how to change the code for priviledged access.

After having studied the page Yuri linked to, how do you think it should look? Give it a shot, and we'll chime in if you encounter problems.

After the lines:

should be inserted:

and after the line (i have corrected here, before closing '}'):

should be inserted:

And add required imports in the beginning of the source file.
It is ugly but it should work.
I think there is another place (or places) in the code where the selected file is actually read. It should be changed the same way.

Didn't you forget to sign recompiled applet jar? Is stack trace the same? I need some information to see what goes wrong.

As I can see the stack trace is the same. It means old version of applet jar is executed. New applet should have another run method frame in stack trace on the top of the line
at com.dell.ren.wicket.panel.upload.applet.FileDropApplet$11.run(FileDropApplet.java:913)
Try to clear the browser cache and restart browser program. And check applet jar file size downloaded from the web server to exclude dumb mistakes.
