can applets under normal conditions call native methods?? if yes then isnt it a security hazard if no then how can the applets use native methods defined in the java standard library.. TAI Jayram
hai , applets can access native methods when it is accessing its own host. for e.g suppose u r downloading an applet from yahoo.com then that applet can't access the native methods in ur machine. but it can access native methods of yahoo server machine.
