java.security.AccessControlException

[Meet Gaurav]

Hi

I just uploaded my JApplet in my webserver. And accessed using IE browser, I have a text file in the server and while the applet is trying to read am getting below exception. After that I change the file permission to 777(all read write and execute) but still am getting the same exception. Please assist me.

If the file is on the server, then you can't use FileReader or FileInputStream to read it. Any of those classes will access the client-side file system, which is off limits to applets.

See the "Hello Server File" example in http://faq.javaranch.com/java/CodeBarnApplets for how applets can read files on the server.
