Forms, FileUpload-Demo

Question

Hi,
I have a very special question:
We use Forms6i with IAS 1.0.2.2 running in Servlet- and HTTPS-Mode.
If we use the fileupload-function of the 'Forms File Upload Utility' we have downloaded from OTN, each Client gets the following Error-Message:
connectMode=HTTPS, native.
Version von Forms-Applet: 60818
com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[oracle/forms/demos/uploadclient/FileUploader.loadFile]: FileDialog creation denied.
I use the signed UploadClient.jar(.sig) and i have installed the PJC.x509 certificate on client.
Can anybody help me?

Christian - you might try just changing your policy file just so you can see that everything else is working. Sometimes a simple permission could be granted. For instance Oracle does this
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "oracle.server.version", "read";
in the java.policy file so the Oracle ssl library can get this version. You can do stuff like this just be careful that you don't open your clients up to having sensitive data stolen by unauthorized people.

here is an excerpt
Property Expansion in Policy Files
Property expansion is possible in policy files and in the security properties file.
Property expansion is similar to expanding variables in a shell. That is, when a string like
${some.property}
appears in a policy file, or in the security properties file, it will be expanded to the value of the system property. For example,
permission java.io.FilePermission "${user.home}", "read";
will expand "${user.home}" to use the value of the "user.home" system property. If that property's value is "/home/cathy", then the above is equivalent to
permission java.io.FilePermission "/home/cathy", "read";
In order to assist in platform-independent policy files, you can also use the special notation of "${/}", which is a shortcut for "${file.separator}". This allows things like
permission java.io.FilePermission "${user.home}${/}*", "read";
If the value of the "user.home" property is /home/cathy, and you are on Solaris, the above gets converted to:
permission java.io.FilePermission "/home/cathy/*", "read";
If on the other hand the "user.home" value is C:\users\cathy and you are on a Windows system, the above gets converted to:
permission java.io.FilePermission "C:\users\cathy\*", "read";
