How to break the sand-box barrier?
I hv an applet accessing a local file. I don't want all the stuff of applet signing, security, Digital Certificates etc. etc. Is it possible for the person running the applet to change the policy settings in his system and make the applet access the local resources...
Help is greately appreciated?

Hey Ramanajv
It should not be possible. If it is possible then there is no security in Applets and it defeats the Java Applets.
To Access the REsource u should have signed or digital Signature.
YOu cann't escape from Sun VM
