AccessControlException in Applet

Question

This applet runs fine in eclipse viewer. I cannot run it from any browser. How can I resolve this issue? I get this error from my java applet console:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.awt.AWTPermission watchMousePointer)

Answer 1

Applets running in a browser use a Security Manager. There are many things that applets in a browser are not allowed to do. If you insist that your applets do these things, deploy your applet as a signed applet

Answer 2

Edit your policy files accordingly. See this on how to do it.
