If u r trying to read the file from local system, then, no, u can't do
it (unless u grant appropriate permissions like BOL said). But u can read
anything via URL connection, for instance, from the webserver. So, if
u need to read some .txt file with your applet's configuration in it,
then u can do it without disturbing Java Security.
