hi,
i have created an applet program which needs a java.policy file to work. i want to run this applet from my webserver. so if my client runs the applet from his machine, he gives the url (http://192.144.1.45:8080/examples/applet/myapplet.html)
the applet downloads well in the client machine, but bcoz i havent given the necessary permissions in his machine, he is not able to run my applet program.my applet program is using socketpermissions to connect,resolve and it access the server program in the webserver. i feel that the java.policy file does not have the necessary permissions. so i am looking for a code to copy the java.policy file to the client machine and overwrite the existing java.policy file in the client. is there any code for that? or is there any workaround for this problem
regards
Kiran

If you digitally sign the applet, you can get whatever permissions you want. There's instructions in the Signed Applets chapter of Advanced Programming for the Java 2 Platform.

Share the error with us. We can't read minds, or what's on your computer screen.
It should be easy to deploy on tomcat, just put the signed JAR and the HTML that references it in the same directory under <tomcat_home>/webapps/<web_application_context>

Hi Joe I have the following files in a Folder called Signed_Applet..
CompanyCer,compstore, SignedApplet.html, SignedApplet.jar, Write.jp, SignedAppletDemo.class, SignedAppletDemo.java, SSignedApplet.jar same as in the Article.. Now I added the Signed_Applet Folder in the Context path of the server as below..
<Context path="/demo"
docBase="D:\Signed_Applet"\>
Now when I give the following command ...
appletviewer -J-Djava.security.policy=Write.jp
http://localhost:8080/demo/SignedApplet.html
from my working directory say D:/bis.... 1)The Applet starts..2)its shows Signed Applet demo in the body 3)Does not show successfuly created file in the body and 4)gives the the folowing Errors in the command prompt ....from the request been made
D:\bis>appletviewer -J-Djava.security.policy=Write.jp http://localhost:8080/demo
/SignedApplet.html
