What is the policy file and how exactly does this work?
Created May 4, 2012
Devikant Birje For example, a browser's JVM does not allow an applet to access the local machine resources because they run under the scrutiny of a security manager. But still permission to access the client's machine can be granted by an entry in a policy file. The policy file looks like this:
grant codeBase "http://192.168.1.15:8080/classes/" {
permission java.io.FilePermission "writetest", "write";
};
this was genereated automatically by the policytool. For additional info please go through this tutorial from Sun.
