Hi, I'm having problems playing sound in my first applet please help.

This is the code i use:


And i get this error:
Access denied (Java.lang.RuntimePermission getProtectionDomain)

I have tried and google it and i seems like it is a permission rights on file problem.
How do i fix that i cant find an example.

Thanks in advanced,
Carsten S. Rasmussen

It might be a newbie question but its relevant, at least for me :O)

For starters, this is a bad idea: catch (Exception e) { }. At least log an error message so that you know that a problem occurred.

Secondly, applets have no access to the local file system. Assuming that you intend the audio file to be loaded from the server (where the applet resides), the URL must be an "http://..." URL.

If the file really is on the local file system (which would be very strange for an applet, which are not generally allowed to access to it for good reasons), see HowCanAnAppletReadFilesOnTheLocalFileSystem.

That's odd, the code should work. In an applet you should use getAudioClip(...), not Applet.newAudioClip(...), by the way.

In the Java Console, can you see the audio file being successfully downloaded, with no error messages?

Maybe you could explain me howto make a java policy file


No policy file (or signed applet) is needed since the file now comes from the same server that hosts the applet.

I don't understand what you're saying about "self extracting Java". There's probably an exception in the Console.

Alternatively, you can check the web server access logs to see if the file is accessed and served properly.

"self extracting java" is a way to add java in Ubuntu. I have no console.
I have no logs, isn't there a solution within the code ?

You could open a popup window that displays the stack trace.

The code you had before is fine, there's no need to change it. As I said, there's probably an exception, so you need to find a way to log or display it. I recommend you search for how to enable the Java Console on your system.
