    Subject: Granting privileges dynamically

    Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 10:29:34 -0600

Is there any way to grant privileges to a JDK 1.2 applet at runtime without
having the user manually changing the policy file? I'm looking for
functionality similar to the way the Netscape Capability classes work. As
far as I can see this does not exist in the current java security APIs.

I've seen this question asked before in the archive, but I could not find an
answer to it.

Thanks,
