I've got a problem. I've to write an applet for our intranet. I created an own certificate with keytool, added my applet to a jar file and singed this jar file with my certificate. Then I wrote my own policy file and added
policy.url.3=file:///C:/<file directory>/applets.policy to java.security.
But even now my IE6 doesn't open the JFileCHooser.
In the AppletViewer it does. (But it did even before I signed my applet.)
Everytime I press the "Load File" button the Java Console tells me this:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir read)

Are you already familiar with what The Security in Java 2 SDK 1.2 Trail of Sun's Java Tutorial has to say (especially the Quick Tour of Controlling Applets part)?

I have exactly the same problem and I have gone through all the guides available!!! Should I ask for the permissions through the applet too or what? I get a message if I want to install the certificate and I do so, but the problem is still there. I can't get read permissions on a file.Can someone who knows make a template about how to sign an applet and what steps to take after that cause the guides on suns site are not that helpfull?

I haven't yet read it, but the article "Java security evolution and concepts, Part 3: Applet security" at JavaWorld looks promising.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
