accessing servers from the pivot applet

[Koen C]

Hello,

I starting some tests with apache pivot.

And I would like to access a server, I'm using the example from the site and
thus I'm connecting to pipes.yahoo.com.

My code

> public void startup(Display display, Map<String, String> properties)

throws Exception {

System.out.println("tuut");

WTKXSerializer wtkxSerializer = new WTKXSerializer();

 GetQuery getQuery = new GetQuery("pipes.yahoo.com", "/pipes/pipe.run");

        getQuery.getParameters().put("_id",
> "43115761f2da5af5341ae2e56a93d646");

        getQuery.getParameters().put("_render", "json");



        getQuery.execute(new TaskAdapter<Object>(new TaskListener<Object>()
> {

            @Override

            public void taskExecuted(Task<Object> task) {

             System.out.println("task executed");

System.out.println(task.getResult());


>  //listView.setListData(JSONSerializer.getList(task.getResult(),
> "value.items"));

                //loadingLabel.setVisible(false);

            }



            @Override

            public void executeFailed(Task<Object> task) {

             System.out.println("execute failed");

System.out.println(task.getFault().getMessage());

            }

        }));

    ...


In the 1.6.0_19 console I get the following logging

execute failed
access denied (java.net.SocketPermission pipes.yahoo.com:80 connect,resolve)

On the net I found some information pointing me to the catalina.policy file
so I added the following with no result.

grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/webapps/pivot-tutorials/-" {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "catalina.base", "read";
    permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:8080", "connect,
resolve";
    permission java.net.SocketPermission "pipes.yahoo.com:80", "connect,
resolve";
};

grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/webapps/pivot-tutorials/lib/-" {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "catalina.base", "read";
    permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:8080", "connect,
resolve";
    permission java.net.SocketPermission "pipes.yahoo.com:80", "connect,
resolve";
};

I also read somewhere that this wil never work from inside an applet.

Any help or clue would nice.

Thanks,

KC
