Signed applet write file in server

Question

I'm trying save file from a signed applet to server. I found a mix answer when try to google about it, some of them saying it cannot be done since applet is running in client/local machine. Some of them post sample code but its not working for me. Appreciated if some one could advice on this. Any link for references is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Applets live there own sandbox, where they require special permission to perform certain operations, like read or write the disk of a client machine. Remember, applets execute within the context of the client machine, they are guests and need to follow the house rules. Reference - here
