Accessing server directory from applet
I have an applet that I'm hosting on Tomcat. When I try to access the file system, I end up on the users file system, not the servers. Is there a way to connect to the servers file system? Bai Shen

Bai Shen Bai I'm actually surprized you didnt get a security exception... as Mark said applets run in the browser... client side. The last time I looked at Applets (long long time ago), they dont need any special security if you talk to the delivery server... Remember that... if you want to talk to any other server... you into security issues. Things like the script coming from one machine and the applet from another, will also catch you... I think they horrible things... if this is a new project, have a look at GWT... or think about a normal web page... if you can.

Re: Accessing server directory from applet
This is an existing applet, so I'm stuck with it until I rewrite the whole thing. No security problems. Not sure why. And unfortunately there's not automatic pull for anything other than images or music. After I posted, I figured out about the pulling it from the server. I was jus' wondering if there was a better way.
