Applet accessing file on host using SAX

[Marko Pagenhardt]

Hi all,

I try to parse(via SAX) an xml file on a server using an applet. Even though
the file resides on the applet's host and the directory has sufficient
permission, I get an access denied exception.

Below you see what I'm trying to do:

xmlURI = "http://hgbc01/Do/Download/temp24.xml";

InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new java.io.FileInputStream(
new java.io.File(xmlURI)));
inputSource.setSystemId(xmlURI);
reader.parse(inputSource);
}

I get the following error:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission
http:\hgbc01\Do\Download\temp24.xml read)
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)

Any idea about what's wrong there? Thanks!

Cheers,

Marko
