Dear Sir/Madam,
I am relatively new to the Java scene, but have been given the task of =
getting a Java Applet to call a C DLL. I am aware of the security =
implications of this (signing the applets, certificates, etc), but for =
now just want to bypass the browser security. I have read that this can =
be done by adding a line to the netscape prefs.js file, but when doing =
this the writeFile.java applet doesn't seem to bypass the security. I =
have also read that applets loaded from the local file system and not =
via the web can load libraries and read and write files.=20
Please can you guide me in the right direction, firstly how to test and =
develop applets by avoiding signing and certificates and secondly to any =
documentation on how the JNI works with applets, some example code would =
be greatly appreciated.
I thank you immensly if you can help in any way
