java.security.AccessControlException

[Christian Schröder]

Hello!
I have written a java applet which should talk to a server (written in 
C++) using Axis/SOAP.
When I launch the containing HTML page in my webbrowser, I get the 
following stack trace in the java console:

I have already found out that creating a file with special permission 
and passing the name of this file as an argument to the AppletViewer 
helps to prevent this problem when testing the applet. But what if the 
applet should really run in a browser?
I first thought that the problem would be solved if the server where the 
applet is hosted and the server it tries to talk to (the SOAP server) 
were the same. But the problem still remains.
What can I do to get my applet running? Is it necessary that the user 
grants some permissions? What exactly does Axis try to do that conflicts 
with the permissions?
I didn't find anything about this in the docs. Each hint is appreciated!!
