Q: Changing Runtime Policy Object - Applet & Appliction Centric or Entire JVM?

Hi:

>From the API and architecture it's possible to replace the default policy
object (java.secuirty.Policy). From what I've read and tested the
mechanism seems to be applet & application centric - meaning from within my
applet or application I need to replace the policy. What I need is an
independent mechanism to replace the policy each time the JVM is started
regardless to what applet or application is loading. Is this possible with
current Security/JVM architecture?

Basically is there a way to always run some java code during the startup of
a JVM?

TIA,

Jeff
