Applet-servlet communication

[Atul Mishra]

All,
I have my applet running in localmachine and servlet on a remote machine[lets call it http://host.xxx.com:8080

When I try to communicate these two I get this exception:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission host.xxx.com:8080 connect,resolve)

My servlet runs in tomcat.

What can I do to solve this ? I tried starting tomcat with securitymanager enabled[by giving -security], that didnt help.
What else can I try ?

Thanks,
Atul

An applet can only connect to the host where it's served from, so if it is hosted on localhost, then it will not be able to connect to any other machine. The way around that is to either sign the applet, or fiddle with your local security policy. Both approaches are HowCanAnAppletReadFilesOnTheLocalFileSystem]described here[/url].
