AccessControlException (access denied)

[System_Error]

I can can use a BufferedReader to open a Streamat the command line, like this:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InpuStreamReader(URL.openStream()));

Once I try to use this same statement inside of my applet, I get an AccessControlException. I know it's something to do with security, but how do you get around that?

Your code needed a t in Input probably wasn't that though, since it threw an exception .

Have you tried .printStackTrace() and attempted to trace the error?

[System_Error]

Well, I finally found out what it was. I knew that applets didn't allow you access files and junk, but I never knew that trying to read from a url connection would cause problems. I did it at the console, and it worked. But for some reason applets have restriction to what I was trying to do.
