I read your advice and tried it immediately, and it worked!! I had been moving towards this myself, slowly ... I had written my own Security Manager which I used to shut up the checkConnect exception, but found when I tried to use the applet, that I still got a RMISecurity exception BUT this time clearly identified as belonging to apj11 (is that it?) So I figured that there was a another RMI Security manager involved. Your advice just clicked for me, and whammo! Fabulous! I have a couple of comments. It seems the conflict between the existence of the Two security managers is a problem that generates a checkConnect exception. How so? I thought that we could only have _one_ security manager in a system? I mean, I _had_ checked _before_ loading my own as to whether one existed at system level, and _NO_ there was not! Obviously I was missing something about the way the JServ works! It would be nice to have this explained somewhere! My second comment is that I also studied a number of references, including the O'Reilly Servlet book, and the new 'Professional Java Server Programming' book, both of which are good books! BUT both had advice that in this case at least was inappropriate for JServ ... clearly, "... the first thing we need to do ... is to install the security manager ... " page 248, Prof Server Programming, ... is wrong! I appreciate your help! Certainly worth a fine ale or two! :) Regards Freddo -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Please read the FAQ! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives and Other: <http://java.apache.org/main/mail.html> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
