Hello sir
I am trying to create a trusted applet and run it from a remote
machine. The applet has been signed using the duke certificate, a copy
of which i could get from the "Signed Applet example" web page that you
have under jdk1.1.6 documentation. The applet still throws the write
file exception in the case of your example(which is supposed to create a
file with the duke's message) and throws a read file exception in the
case of my applet.(I am trying to open a local file for reading.)
I have also installed the java plug in, but there is no change even
with the navigator. I have both jdk1.1.6 and jdk1.2 on my machine and i
change the path and classpath settings accordingly. In jdk1.2, i can run
my applet, signed or unsigned by just maintaining the right policy file,
using the appletviewer(but not the navigator 4.0). But in jdk1.1.6 both
signed and unsigned applets dont work. I have completely followed the
steps you have mentioned in your example and ensured that the identity
database is under "c:\windows" which is my home directory for win95.
Could you please help me in solving this problem. For your
convenience i can mail my sample code also if you want to take a look
at it.

Thanking you,
With regards
Geetha
