Subject: Problem with using system eventqueues

L.S.

We are developing a Java-based application/applet that writes events
to the system eventqueue. This works fine when running the
application using Visual Cafe's 1.1PR2 built in JIT and using JDK
1.1.3 java-runner, but generates a security exeception when running
the applet-version using the JDK 1.1.3 Appletviewer.

Our thought was to use the Javakey sign-mechanism to generate a signed
applet. The problem is that this version generates the same exceptions
when running locally. Is there a solution to use the system eventqueue
in Applets or is a mechanism for exceptionless using the system
eventqueue from within Applets provided in one of the upcoming releases
of the JDK?
