I am having difficulties to run a local executable
from a java applet. The browser is displaying
the applet but do not execute the local exe.

Through exec() java command, I am passing the string as

String s1 = "ViewMap.exe User_selected_county" ;
Process MyProcess;
MyProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(s1);

Even I was trying to open the open a notepad but
could not able to do. Please let me know , Is it
possible to run a local Executable through an
JAVA Applet. We are ready to incorporate any
certification if required.Through AppViewer it
is executing. If, I run through Netscape/IE browser
then, It is not executing.

Thanks
