Answer 2

To access a local file through your browser, you can use a signed Java Applet. Through JFileChooser you can ask the user for a file, and if the applet is signed and you have configured properly the security of your applet, this will work.

Here is the sun page on signing an applet.

Answer 3

从6u10开始，未签名的Java applet可以使用JNLP服务API通过文件选择器加载和保存文件。
