    Subject: Java Database - doubt

Hello,

Sorry for this question. I think it is a little fool...
I want to implement a "vote" system in Java on a web-page. It's a
simple system: you have N choices. You choose a one and on a file the
hit counter of this option is increased.
I know that Java applets can't read or write files. I read the Security
FAQ, and my question is: if I set the write permission for a file on the
~/.hotjava/properties file, I will can write it by an applet from any
browser?
If I can't write a file on my home directory in any way by an
Java-enabled browser, what do you suggest me to create my vote system?
Thank you,
