Re: [JAVA3D] appletizing

Nathan, Unfortunately, applets can't access files from the local file system. The only way around it is to sign the applet. You do this with the jar-signer.   Here's some sites to show you what I mean.   http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Security/Signed/ http://java.sun.com/security/signExample12/#doityourself http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/rsa_signing.html   Good luck. :)     ----- Original Message ----- From: Nathan Bower To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 1:22 PM Subject: [JAVA3D] appletizing Hello guys, and gals, An appletizing problem (yum) for you here. Ive been turning my java3d standalone program into an applet for erm about a week now. Ive had a few tricky problems and this one I think somone else would have experienced before. In accessing a file (.jpg texture) I am using FILE and a string which consists of  String filename = String.valueOf(tile.toExternalForm ());  // + more path & filename info. This results in trying to access a file from a location such as http://www.bhaldebla.com/images/1.jpg   However - it dosent work.   Q1. Has anyone else had a similar problem to this? Q2. What (generally) would be the method of accessing required data files from applets - retaining the ability to run as stand alone!     Thanking you,   Nathan     PS. ARgggg!
