Hi,
On Windows XP I have 3 browsers: FireFox, Mozilla and IE7.
I have had several versions of the
java jre installed. The registry currently has 4 versions referenced in the JavaSoft/Java Plug-in and 7 versions in Java Runtime Environment. The JRE CurrentVersion is 1.5.
When looking at an HTML page with an
applet FireFox uses JRE 1.6.0, Mozilla and IE7 use 1.5.0.
I have an applet that requires an entry in the .java.policy file to enable it to read files.
When I use FireFox and Mozilla, the applet works. When I use IE7 I get access denied needing FilePermission read.
What determines which jre a browser uses?
How does applet security differ between IE7 and the other 2 browsers?
Thanks,
Norm
