Applet Restrictions
- Since applets can execute within a web
browser session, they are normally restricted in what they can do.
Here are some of the basic applet restrictions:
- An applet can't write directly to files on the client computer
- An applet can't communicate with machines other than the one hosting the applet
- An applet can't call native system code
- These are the restrictions applets operate under by default. There are ways to grant permission to applets so that they can perform the above tasks, however, if you are creating a normal applet, you will probably be restricted in what you can do.
