Hello,

I am Werner of the Univerity of Leuven and have some questions about the
security of an applet.

I made an applet who calls an dll on the local disk.
I load the applet from within my browser.
Every time I get an Security exception.
I now that it is not possible to acces from an applet if it is not
signed.
But I read an article that mentioned that if you place the class file
(which calls the dll file) local ,
you can acces the dll file whithout worrying about security.

I tried to do this , but that even didn't work

If you have an alternative for this problem, I am glad to hear about

Thanks in advance

Werner
