    Subject: Applet Security

Hi, As a java newbie, I'm facing this problem.

Everywhere you talk about applets loaded in Java enabled browsers facing
problems doing file I/O with files on the host the applet is running (
the client ). What about the case, when the applet wants to open a file
in the same directory on the same web server that it is coming from (
serverside)??

If the applet is in /webserver/directory/applet.java and the file is in
/webserver/directory/textfile.txt how can the applet loaded in a browser
read the contents of the file textfile.txt.

Any tips, links to resources that address this problem would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
