Hello,

I'm building java applet in notepad++ not in some IDE. How can I give this applet all permissions (for opening and writting to socket) for testing. I'm asking this because now I need to deploy applet to server each time!

If I run applet from developing computer and I want to connect to socket on server which is not on localhost I get exception.

So I'm asking if there is any way to give all or only this applet all permissions in browser?

There's your fault. WHY?

Add a file "policy.policy" to the project and put in there the following:

grant {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

the start the app with the argument:

java -Djava.security.policy=policy.policy MyFunkyApplication

At first thank you for your quick response!

I only have 320 KB space, for CSS, HTML, Java applet and JavaScript code, that's why I'm not doing this with IDE, because it generates a lot of unnecessary files.

I know about policy file, but I can't use it without IDE, or not?

no, the argument thingy is just a fancy little confusion brought into this by me.
sure you can, how do you start the applet?

There is also a code based version, please refer to google for that.

I start applet in web browser, I run index.html with applet and I get security exception for opening Soceket on server machine (let's say on IP 192.168.1.10). If I upload it on server (which is on IP 192.168.1.10), it works! I would like to develop app on developmetn machine and opening socket on server. Now I must upload it each time.

I google it but you can give java applet permissions only through IDE.
