AccessControlException print/save from applet

2006-01-12 15:49

I am trying to setup a web-app in tomcat and have got everything running smoothly. However, I cannot use the save button or print button in the applet viewer.

 

Clicking the save button results in the following error in the java console:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-4" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir read)

 

and clicking the print button results in a java window asking for permission to print, then after clicking ok it first gives a dialog that says "Error printing report. See console for details" and the console says:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.awt.windows)

 

I looked on the net and it said for most AccessControlExceptions you should sign your applet. So I went through all the steps to do that from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/jarsigner.html but that didn't help at all.

 

Anybody have any ideas on how to get this applet to work? By the way, same problem in both IE and Firefox.

 

Regards,

Collin

See this thread:

https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3393010

 

Don't know if it will work for you (maybe something similar?) but the proposed solution from that thread is:

 

Add the following to your server.policy file

 

// Jasperreports

grant {

permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getProtectionDomain";

permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "createClassLoader";

};
