Error in getting Initial Context

Question

Hello,
I am facing the following exception while trying to get the Initial Context. Following
is the snippet of code that I use for getting the Context -
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");p.
put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
if (user != null) {
p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
if (password == null)
password = "";
p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
return new InitialContext(p);
The following is the exception that I encounter -
javax.naming.AuthenticationException. Root exception is java.lang.SecurityException:
attempting to add an object which is not an instance of java.security.Principal
to a Subject's Principal Set
Am i missing anything. Thanks for your time.
See the attached file for the details of the exception
Thanks,
Ashutosh

Hi Tim,
If you are running within a browser, you will not have access to anything
outside the sandbox which includes making RMI calls. Try signing the applet.
You can find more information on signing applets on the sun java website.

Does anyone have any idea what would cause this? The code works finerunning
from an application. From what I understand there might be a problem withmy
policy file. However, it seems to look ok. Any ideas?
