JNLP "Access Denied" URL

I have a java app that makes a connection to a webserver. It requests a .jar file that contains 1 file. The URL is as follows: jar://myserver/test.jar!/fact_list.txt . This works fine when it is run as an application. HOwever, when I try to run it as a .jnlp file I encounter a error:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 199.43.2.201:8080 connect,resolve)

I have not signed the .jar file that contains my application. I didn't think I needed to sign it because it is trying to access the same server from which it was downloaded. Any ideas on what I am missing?

Is the server redirecting?

ASKER

No, it works fine when I run it as an application.

CEHJ

Well redirects would be followed OK by an application. Is that address public so we can test it?

ASKER

Sorry, its not. I will need to see my administrator to find a public server. However, I don't think it is a redirecting issue. I notice that the address I am accessing is http://199.43.2.201:8080/fdw/test.html and the address in the exception is the same:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 199.43.2.201:8080 connect,resolve)

CEHJ

What is the actual jnlp file url?
