run app via OS in Applet

[~]

Thanks,

I've subclassed SecurityException, created a
FilePermission(String progname, String access) object as a class
variable member.

In this class, I override the checkExec(Permission p) method so
that it will not throw a SecurityException. In this method, I
call checkPermission(Permission p), its argument the
FilePermission object (cast to Permission).

Also, I've created a java policy file.

The end result I'm looking for is to be able to run an executable
from within the applet via
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("someprog.exe").

When I invoke appletviewer with the URL, the following errors are
produced:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.lang.RuntimePermission

Has anyone ever changed permissions for something that an applet
by default has restrictions?
This is jdk1.2.

Any help would be appreciated.

clever, but i'm afraid there's no sneaky way around applet permissions
(thank $*&@! God!). please see:
