Policy files and the Web

Question

Hi,
I created an applet that required a policy file, but now I want to transfer this applet onto the Web. I am wondering how to do this while still somehow incorporating the policy file.
Help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!!

Answer 1

I'm trying to put all my files into a .jar file - that is, my .class file, my .html fileYou can't activate a HTML file from a jar file -- at least not that I'm aware of.
links to a file, which the user can then download.If this file that you want the user to be able to download is not a known MIME type (e.g., another HTML file, an image, or a text file), why don't you just create a link in your HTML file like this:
Click here to download file
If your file is of a known MIME type, just zip it and create a link as shown above.
......my policy file.When you run an applet out of a web server, it runs in a sandbox and requires permission(s) to be granted if the user's browser is correctly configured and the applet is signed (as shown in my file I/O demo). Policy file has nothing to do with an applet -- only when a java program runs in a standalone system.
Hope this helps.
