[OCF] Running SmartCard based applet in a browser

[TRAN XUAN Fabrice DvSi/DES/GRE]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a SmartCard based JApplet work with Netscape 4.7 and the
Java Plugin 1.2.2 but I get the following error message
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission
D:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\plugins\opencard.properties
read)   
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)   
at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)

at opencard.core.service.SmartCard.start(SmartCard.java:514) 

I followed the instructions of the "JavaCard framework" documentation (IBM)
as described in chapter 6.
1) create a self signed certificate,
2) digitally sign the JAR file,
3) define a .java.policy file in my user.home directory
keystore ".keystore";

grant signedBy "Mike"
{
        permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write";

        permission java.io.FilePermission
"${java.home}/lib/opencard.properties", "read";
        permission java.io.FilePermission
"${java.home}/lib/.opencard.properties", "read";
        permission java.io.FilePermission
"${user.home}/opencard.properties", "read";
        permission java.io.FilePermission
"${user.home}/.opencard.properties", "read";

        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "loadLibrary.*";
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "reflect.declared.*";
};

I'm using GemXpresso 211, and have copied the following files in
$JRE_HOME/lib/ext:
* gemplus-terminals-4.1.jar,
* base-core.jar,
* base-opt.jar,
* gemplus-services.jar,
and opencard.properties in $JRE_HOME/lib.

I don't really understand why a file stored in Netscape's directory is
needed.

Any help would be appreciated,

Regards,

Fabrice
