Applet Security Dialog?

Networking & Multiplayer
#1

How can I give an Applet write access to the file system? I have an Applet that needs write access, but I don’t know how to show the security dialog like it’s done using Java Webstart!? Is it possible or does a user manually have to edit the Applet’s permission policy file?

Using Webstart I write in the .JNLP:

<security>
  <all-permissions/>
</security>

Can I do the same for Applets???

#2

the simplest way would be to sign your applet, no ?

#3

Yup. Simply as that

I signed it, but it doesn’t work?

The security dialog does not come up when I run it over the Internet!? It works locally…

Mhh, I actually, I managed to get it to work on my coworker’s computer!? Does it work for you guys?

#5

heum… maybe yes :), maybe no… :frowning: it have crashed my browser and then show the security dialog, so yes it seems to work

EDIT: XP-PRO-SP3/Java 1.6.07
