I'm getting the error
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)...
when I try to load an
applet to Netscape 4.61 off one of my
subdirectories. The line that triggers the error is
new
Thread(this).start();
The problem seems to have something to do with the location of
the class files, because I have no problem loading the applet
when the class files are in a subdirectory in the JDK
installation tree (/usr/local/jdk1.3.1). Also, the applet
performs fine if I run it using appletviewer, even off my
subdirectory.
Can someone guess why I'm getting this error?
Thanks!
