What I would like to understand is whether: (a) there is a problem specifically using Digester and JNLP, or (b) whether there is a problem with writing any sort of code that accesses an arbitrary file off disk If it is (a), then we can think about possible solutions, or at least document the issue on the wiki or similar. If it is (b), well that is to be expected: sandboxed apps just can't do that, and non-sandboxed apps require explicit user acceptance via a dialog when installed. My interpretation of what you have written so far is that it is (b) that you are complaining about, and that this "digester + JNLP" thing would apply just the same if a programmer (eg Hubert) were to write custom SAX code to process his input xml rather than using digester.

Java, of course, can be applied to a much wider range of tasks than PHP. I hope PHP's open-source nature puts pressure on Sun to open-source their java implementation.
