I have an applet, and support classes, that are contained in a jar file.
The Applet reads/writes to local file system, so needs to run out of
sandbox.

I have already signed the jar file using Netscape's signtool and been =
able
to have the Applet run out of the sandbox without difficulty (well, that
might be a little bit of an overstatement, since I also had to add code
within the Applet to request privileges!). I've also been successful at =

signing a cab file and running out of the sandbox in IE.

Now, I want to have the Applet run out of the sandbox with the Java =
Plug-in
(aka activator).

I have set up an identity (trusted), created a certificate, signed the =
Jar
file with the certificate - all done using Javakey tool. But, I get a
AppletSecurityException while trying to run the applet. Also, I have =
run
HTML through the Plug-in converter and I do have the Plug-in installed
(have played with the SwingSet applet on Java Plug-in demo page).

I have listed out my identitydb.obj using Javakey and I see my created
identity with private and public keys and certificate. I'm running the
applet on the same computer that I created the identity on, so seems =
like=20
it should recognize the certificate and as trusted. I only have one=20
identitydb.obj file on my computer and it's in the default (HOME) =
directory=20
(The applet actually resides on a different computer that runs a web =
server.)

Is there something I am missing that I need to do to run out of the =
sandbox?

Thanks.
