    Subject: JDK 1.2 Signed Applets & File Access

I have been attempting to follow the instructions to allow file access
given in the Developer Connection Technical Article ,

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/monicap/Security/Tools/signed.html

However, I can't get it to work. I am using JDK 1.2 appletviewer on a
SunSparc workstation. I assume I am correct in changing the address of the
web page in the invocation line to that of my own web page where I have
installed the example (It doesn't work if I leave it exactly as
specified, either). I have checked that UNIX file permissions have been
given for the required actions. The signed applet can be verified, so I
assume that that has worked ok, and that the keystore also functions
correctly.

I have even tried altering the java source file so that my home path is
included in the file, and so does not need to be read by the applet.

I am a total beginner, so please be gentle with me.

Thanks,

Mark Brophy
