    Subject: How to make an applet write files on your working machine?

Hello there!!

Is applet security tuned to restrict only TXT files?
I have an applet writing to a paradox table and it does not exception
whatsoever. It has been compiled using the Microsft J++ 1.1. and runs
fine with Javasoft's appletviewer and Communicator. Since the writing is
very slow using the JDBC -odbc bridge.. we decided to write to text
files and perform an import later on.
But now I get an exception. I am using the same steps Mariaane Mueller
uses in her example.

Now, I can sign the applet using javakey but the identity and signer to
be me. Meaning I have to develop the signed file on my machine.
And when I run it should write the file on my disk. However I didn't
find any help in the example if you need to test it on your machine.
Please pardon if I missed something.
I tried to create a signer and identity with the same name and javakey
does not like it.

Thanks in advance.
Liji.
