Security problems with an applet

hi

i packed my program in an applet to run it and it did not run

so i used a textarea and used exception.tostring() (i don’'t know how to print the whole stack)

i got this message

java.security.Acces ControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermision pc-elias resolve)

any idea of how to solve it?

tks

Nicolas,

By default, applets aren’'t allowed to open sockets to servers other than the server the applet is from. So, you have a couple of options:

Make it a signed applet so that users can grant special permissions to it to allow opening sockets to any host.
Have the applet be served from the same server that the XMPP server is running on.
Write a servlet or some other middle tier that can act as a proxy on the server-side for opening connections to other hosts. Your applet could then talk to that servlet.

Regards,

Matt

I think that your problem is responded here:

Remove the space in the link to work!!!

I don’'t know why but it breaks the whole message with the space.
