> FAQ page ambiguity:
>
> On your FAQ page about Java security it states something
> to the effect that "Java applets loaded into a java-enabled
> browser are not able to read or write files **at all**". This
> statement is ambiguous - Applets ARE able to read files that
> are resident on the originating host (and I have an applet
> to prove it!).
>
> The reason I bring this up is because I was searching the site
> for information that might help me resolve my current problem
> with security exceptions while writing to a file on the server.
> At first I read this statement and interpreted my situation as
> a lost cause, but then I realized that the statement must be
> referring to the client's machine only...
>
> Anyway, just a comment. Otherwise, a great site!
