I've been looking into the subject.

I found that this is not possible to call a privileged action but some
suggestions are made how to overcome this:

a) create a new thread with the privileged action and call it from the main
thread called by the javascript. It seems that current JRE version does not
allow this?

b) modify java.policy file allow privileged actions. I've seen no examples
or proof-of-concepts how to do this.

c) wait somebody (Jeff Dyer?) to implement this in Mozilla.

d) use other JVM than Suns. There are no other JVM implementing the OJI
interface.

If somebody has any information of the above or knows another workaround for
the problem in question please share it with us.
