Bug 108940

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When using the securtyManager for signed applets the securityManager asks for access permission for some events which are happening on the file system. This is done by the user interface. You can give access permissions by clicking on the right buttons. 

Our applet opens a simply java fileSelection dialog. Now a AccessControlException is thrown by it without questioning the user. So no file list is displayed by the dialog.

There are also some other AccessControlExceptions which are thrown without questioning:

When you use the applet at http://www.radinks.com/upload/applet.php you will get the following exception:

It seems that the list of access types in the security manager is incomplete.


If you disable the SecurityManager everything works fine. If you use Firefox everything works fine with the applet, too.
