Self Signed Applet Can it access Local File Systems

Question

Hi I have created a Self Signed Applet , but not able to access local files system .What have i to do ?

Answer 1

you need to wrap your IO code inside PrivilegedAction.

Generally, you need to sign your applet with your test certificate, the user will see a warning and will have to accept the certificate when it loads the applet.

then you need to wrap your code inside a PriviligedAction. see this for some examples.
