Nothing that's inside of the WEB-INF directory will be served to a browser. You'll need to move all files related to the applet into a publicly accessible directory (like the one where the HTML file resides in). That includes class files, jar files (if any) and data files (like questionDir).

[feroz pasha]

i did in that way also but it was showing the java.io.filepermission and AccessControlException


wat sall i do for this can you help me pl pl

Dear Pasha,

You need to go through some basics of Applets. Please visit FAQ session to have some basic ideas of Applet.

Whenever you mention that you're getting exceptions you should post the full stack trace. There's additional information in the exception message that helps diagnose the problem. Without that, people here can only guess what's going on.

help me what is the next step shall i take to over come the exception

[Ulf Dittmer]

The fact that the file path contains the string "null" should be a clear indication of what is going wrong.

Aside from that, applets are not allowed to perform file I/O without being signed, or unless the local security policy has been altered. It looks as if neither is the case. See HowCanAnAppletReadFilesOnTheLocalFileSystem for more detail.

[Norm Radder]

It looks like your code is executing but:

at java.io.File.isDirectory(Unknown Source)
at Backup.init(Backup.java:131)

Is your applet at source line 131 trying to look at the local file system?
Applet's can't do that without permission.

[Ananth Chellathurai]

Applets can look only for files from the server from where it is served from.

i have set the access permission buy
keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -alias feroz
after i made the certificate:

keytool -export -alias feroz -file yourcert.crt

after that i have created a bat file which contains

javac Backup.java
jar cvf Backup.jar Backup.class
jarsigner Backup.jar feroz


The batch-file compiles the applet, makes a jar-archive and signs the jar-file.

but when i am running my html file iam getting this exception.
