applet servlet communication

[pradeep phatak]

I am trying to communicate with a servlet using an
applet. Independently both are working fine.
I am getting a security exception when I try to communicate the two. servlet is running on
tomcat 4.0
The message I get is as follows:
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 192.168.2.239:8080 connect,resolve)
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:267)

any changes to do in catalina.policy?
suggest!

Sounds like you are trying to have your applet talk to a server that is not the address the applet was loaded from. Way back in Java 1.0 you could do that but now the SecurityManager won't let you unless you have a signed applet.
