Hey, and thanks for Java!

I'm wondering about the proprietary security features of Netscape's
internet browser Communicator 4.03. Their security model handling, for
example, sending stuff to the printer from an applet is agreeable. Will
this be incorporated into Java as a standard way of handling security
issues? We are developing products that need to access normally
restricted resources, like the printer, from within a browser. A
standardized way of handling this is needed urgently. Should we stick to
Netscape's solution in the meantime? Can you give any hints as to what
will happen in the near future in this area?

Grateful for any reply if possible,
