Applet Security

Hi All,
I am using JDK1.2
My Applet is residing in the web server.If i download the applet in the client machine,the applet should be able to access the File System and database in the local machine where it was downloaded.But the security of the applet by default will not allow accessing the local resources of the client machine.How can i access the local resources in that case.????? can anybody suggest how i can handle this situation.

Thanks in Advance,
Kavitha

I never try it. But you can sign your applet from the CA. This might be the one way to have
your applet right to access the local resources.
good luck,

hai Kavitha,
Since u ar running web-server i think at an instance of time u can get the current clients ip so from the servlet u can access the clients file system with out any security exception and return back wat u wanted from the servlet.

Hope ur problem ill be solved
