Solution

  • You are going to want to read up on the security manager. Because code launched through Java Web Start could potentially cause grave harm to client computers there are a lot of things it is usually not allowed to do. File system access is one of them. There are several ways to enable your Java Web Start app to access the file system detailed in the documentation.
