    Subject: Reading Files from an Applet

Hi there,

I fresh on Java development, and any documentations I read do not
clearly say if an Applet can read or not files...

What I read are the following:

1- from your WEB site: Applet can not read/write file at all...

2- but from another page: Applet can read file if the file is on the
same URL
'but it does not work for me'

3- your writeFile sample works if run from appletviewer, but not from
netscape, even you trusted the applet,

So please could you clarify this ?

Because I would like to know if it is poosble for an Applet to read a
file from the same URL... I do not want to read a file on the client
machine, only from the WEB server...

Thanks,
Cyrille Fauvel
