I'm running into some apparently well-known problems with signed
applets accessing a client machine's hard drive.
So, I can get things to work if I place the following two lines in my 'local' JDK installation:
These let me a) read the user's home directory and b) read/write a file that's located there.
What I don't want to do is edit the java.policy file, but I'm having problems loading a separate policy file. The app server we run with our product is jetty, and I'm assuming I would be passing in the '-Djava.security.policy=='filename' with the other jetty start-up parameters- is this a correct assumption? And, what path do I give for the file, will I need to put it somewhere in the .war file we distribute, or in the JDK installation on the server? If it's on the server, will client machine's know about these extra rights?
I'd *REALLY* appreciate any help I could get on this...
thanks in advance,
