saving a file on local PC

[Kay Tracid]

How can I save a string in a text file ?
My way :
.
.
.
BufferedWriter file;
String s = new String("Test");
file = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("textfile.txt"));
file.write(s);
.
.
.
does'nt work !
(I wrote this sourcecode without the book, where I read that. It is possible that there are some mistakes.)
I wrote that as an applet, but the file was not created.
HELP PLEASE !!

You cannot create a file on the local machine using an applet. Java security manager does not allow this.

Thanks for the help. Is there really no way, may be with Java Script, Html or something like this ?

No you cannot create a text file on a local machine using Javascript or HTML. But I think you can create a text file using a signed applet using JDK 1.2. When the user requests a page containing this applet, the browser asks the user whether or not to download the applet and give permission to create a file. If the user agrees, then the applet can create a text file. Otherwise no.

How to use a signed applet??

[Kay Tracid]

Yes, how can I use a signed applet ?
How must I use the security manager to ask the user?

I haven't tried it yet myself, but this looks like a good site for the information you want:

Hope it helps. Let us know.
