I am building a Java Applet that is running local that needs to access a couple of images on my webserver. How can i load images from a given webserver in java?
If you wish to access images on another server, you need to edit the java.policy of the JRE that your browser java plug-in is using. For example, on a windows machine with Java 6, this will normally be:
%PROGRAM FILES%\Java\jre6\lib\security\java.policy
For example, to give socket permissions for connecting to an image server, to applets originating from localhost, you’d add something like this to the java policy file:
Where imgserver.company.com is the server your applet needs to connect to in order to fetch the images.
DISCLAIMER: Careful when editing the java policy for your browser, because potentially you could be giving more permissions to not just your own applet, but to other, malicious applets.
