Signed applet throws SecurityException

Question

I have trouble with java applets and access permissions (plugin 1.3.0_02).
Although I signed the applet using a Verisign certificate
and although the user grants access (when loading the
applet a security dialog pops asking for permission),
the applet obviously does not have "AllPermission"
code:
    String host = "abc"
    int port = 80
    // the following code throws a SecurityException
    Socket = new Socket(host, port);from java console:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission abc resolve)
why is that so ?
what's wrong here ?
this is how I created the jar:
- compile applet to my.class file
- generated jar: jar cvf my.jar mydir
- sign the jar: jarsigner -keystore mykeystore my.jar mycertificate (mykeystore contains the "mycertivicate" Verisign certificate)
at least something works since the plugin 1.3.0_02 detects the certificate and pops up the security dialog asking the user for access permissions.
the documentation says (see http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/nsobjsigning.html#deploy), that when the user "grants always" the applet gets "AllPermission".
but the applet obviously does not get "AllPermission"
however, the code will work when I manually add "AllPermission" on the client side using the policytool. but it is not accetable solution to have client users use
policytool for granting permissions...
please help!!!

I found the problem: the critical code was in a second jar file having a different code base (org.abc.... instead of de.abc...). So I only had to sign the additional jar file and then it worked...
