Thanks for your reply Satya. Can u please tell me which of the below mentioned answers are correct. Can an applet "test" the system to determine its access rights why or why not? 1. no, the information is in the System object, which is restricted from applets 2. yes, by querying its ClassLoader object 3. no, applets can not query the SecurityManager directly 4. no, the applet is automatically terminated when it tries to access restricted resources 5. yes by attempting various operations and catching SecurityExceptions Regards, Shilpa

Hopefully, you don't expect me to give you a straight forward answer, do you! Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I am not an Applet guru, trying to be...... I can suggest this FAQ with examples, for further reading, I do it but, as needed only! This FAQ is about Applet Security. HTH. regds. - satya
