Why does my applet get a java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission …), and how can I avoid it?

Question

We are clueless about why my client is encountering a Java Security exception in Safari. Could anyone help?

The exception occurs reliably in Safari on Windows. Thi

Answer 1

On Linux it works.

The Add to cart button executes the function

  function saveLayout() {

    showSaveMsg();
    var status = document.app.buy();
    var loc = "http://www.cengraving.com/s/cart";

    if (status == 'GOOD') {
      window.location = getCartUrl();
    } else {
      showErrorMsg(status);
    }
  } 

Some remarks:

• Is it normal that the local var loc is defined after the app call and not used anyway?

• Also, a try catch may help (in Javascript, wrapping the app.buy() call).

• Besides, I did a bit of research on the Net, and some people - having the same error but from a different usage - report a ClassPath problem. Do you have anything specific that could prevent the relevant JRE to be utilized?
