Hi all, I am new to servlets. Trying things out for the first time. I am sending a serialized object from an Applet to a Servlet. I used a "log" method to track the progress. The URLConnection.getConnection() worked without an exception and it logged "Connected" so I presume the Applet was able to connect to the servlet: webServerStr = http://localhost:8080/servlet/StudentDBServlet" log("Connecting to servlet..."); URL studentDBservlet = new URL( webServerStr ); URLConnection servletConnection = studentDBservlet.openConnection(); log("Connected"); But when the following code gives me an exception: log("Sending the student to the servlet..."); outputToServlet = new ObjectOutputStream(servletConnection.getOutputStream()); com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[StudentDBApplet.sendStudentToServlet]: cannot access "localhost":8080 Can some one please tell me how to overcome the security problem?
