Hi!

We are using an applet that are calling the locale function to set
language/country parameters.

This worked fine in JDK 1.1.2, but we have an SecurityException in
JDK1.1.6. (Using AppletViever and Java-Plug-In with Netscape 4.0.5)
Our questions are:

1. Is this an forbidden action in JDK 1.1.6?
2. Can this be solved by using a signed applet?

Best regards
