Alf, >>> I am attempting to create a java applet and I get:- >>> java.lang.SecurityException: Prohibited package name: java >> <AFAIK> >> java, javax, and sun are among the package names reserved for the virtual >> machine.

<HINT> If moving the class allowed it to be found, then I suspect that the class nor package was named 'java'. If moving the class allowed it to be found, then I suspect that the browser (and/or your personal) CLASSPATH is misconfigured. It is likely that the browser configuration restricts the directories available to shtml, and therefore to java applets addressed from shtml. This would be normal security policy to prevent imposture via the web server. In either case, you seem to have removed the problem from a strict java issue to a system administration issue. I suggest that you ask your system administrator for help, of if you are the system administrator, examine your CLASSPATH and browser configurations. </HINT> Hopefully helpful, -- Dr. Robert Meier ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
