Jay, the key issue is security. (In my former reply, I was thinking of the application, didn't realize you talked about the applet)
An applet that comes from the internet is not supposed to do anything to your computer; even with the signed version, it needs to request your acceptance before writing to your local disk. The other issue is whether waht you want to do need additional information or options so it requires a dialog. So, using the application you can write files without dialogs, but not using the applet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
