Applet Security

[Sean]

it would appear an applet is hell bent on destroying my dissertation. When
trying to receive from a servlet (on same host, contructed automatically
from getCodeBase()), it throws an AccessControlException, giving the
message: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission
http.strictPostRedirection read)

It can send the data with no problems, its only when i try to open the
connection to read in the reply that it throws the Exception.


any ideas would be great,

Thanks in advance

Hi Sean,
Apparently your applet tries to read a system property by doing
System.getProperty("http.strictPostRedirection");
This is not allowed for an applet.
I don't know if there are network classes doing this call.
Propably it's HttpURLConnection.getFollowRedirects();?
If you can't find the origin you could try to sign the applet.
I hope this helps a bit.
