Socket Permission in JavaPolicy file..

[GS Chidam]

Hi

My real problem is:

In my applet, i am using servlet - applet communication to get the data from server. In the applet i am showing some data.

When I am using http, i don't have any problem working fine, when i am using proxy connection with https i am getting problem.

The error is
Exception:java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission proxy:80 connect,resolve)

if i am changing my policy file adding this permission, it works fine. But i don't want to change in the policy file, is there any option to add the permission in the java class file itself instead of changing the policy file.

need help.

Thanks in advance

The other way around this is to sign the applet. That is described here: HowCanAnAppletReadFilesOnTheLocalFileSystem

Hi,

Actually i don't want to create the sign applet, and also i don't want to manually change the policy file.

Is there any option to change the policy file using java code. Whenever the user open that applet page, i want to change policy using my code.

thanks in advance

If the applet code were able to change the local security settings, then the whole sandbox security would be worthless. It is impossible by design.

Those two methods are the only way to get around the problem you're facing.
