Hi all ! I'm writting an application that uses the NCSA Portfolio loader. It's working fine from the command line but gives security exceptions if I try to run it as an applet with a navigator. I also tried to configure the java.policy file to grant all permission, or FilePermission, for the files but it doesn't work. For example, the applet is located at C:\Java\Source\Test. Its name is DisplayApplet.class. The HTML file that opens it is DisplayApplet.html. This applet has to read the 'portfolio.properties' file, and afterwards an obj file. I have configured the policy.file with several entries: Codebase: 'file://C:/Java/Source/test/-' or 'file://C:/Java/Source/test/DisplayApplet.html' Permission entries: File Permission: AllPermission or FilePermission TargetName: portfolio.properties or the .obj file Entries: read But nothing of this works. I save the java.policy file in the directory where the JRE is installed: C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3\lib\security. What am I doing wrong ? Or the only way to test fileloaders in an applet is to make signed jar files ? How can I test them ? I'm expecting your help. Thanks in advanced !!
