Applet security override

Show all headers | View raw

Hi

I am getting the exception caused by
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.lang.RuntimePermission loadLibrary.<dll-name>).

I know that this is to be expected as applets generally have no access
to resources outside of the browser. After digging for the possible
solutions I found (http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/
Programming/JDCBook/appA.html) that this may actually be possible by
granting such access in the policy file.

I edited java.policy.applet file - the one which is generated and sits
in the same location as CLASS files. The modified policy file looks as
follows:

grant {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;    // this was generated
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "loadLibrary.*";   // this is
added by me
}

Unfortunately, I still have the same exception. Any idea what I am
missing? Wrong policy file perhaps?

Is there another way of granting applet with access to local DLLs? I
think signed applet was another hint but could someone guide me how to
do this?
