Why I don't get a SecurityException ??

[Hussein Baghdadi]

Hi all
I created a small chat server (you know, Sockets, ServerSockets, threads ..)and the clients will be applets.
I created the following class :

  
public class ClientPanel extends JPanel implements Runnable { 
// code here which responsible for connecting to the chat server (using Socket).

the applet code contains :

  
public class AppletClient extends JApplet {

public void init( ) {
String tmp = getParameter("username");
String username = tmp + ": ";
this.setLayout(new BorderLayout( ));
this.add(new ClientPanel("localhost", 2222, username), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
}

Ok, every thing is ok and there is no error and the server and applets are working correctly.
but I am wondering why I don't get a SecurityException ?
my applet is using sockets, which are not allowed in unsigned applets (my jar is unsigned) ??
any ideas ??

Depends how you're running it. Applets are (generally) allowed to connect to the server they're downloaded from.
