Re: Applet cannot read PARAM values: security exception

That was a while ago when I last time worked with Java, so I might be
missing some recent security development. Any way:

Having a simple applet with hardcoded params it runs just fine on the
latest Java Plug-in 1.6.0_04 in both IE and Fx. If I put params into
PARAM tags then on getParameter it gives me SecurityException and
"Applet notinited" - the orthography is from plugin makers - in the
browser status bar. Is PARAM usage for applet is now locked? How do
workaround it then?

The applet in question is as simple as:

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.net.*;

public class SockeR extends Applet {

 public void init() {
  this.setBackground(
   // this works just fine, applet gets red:
   Color.red
   // using this instead of the above leads to error:
   //Color.getColor(this.getParameter("bgcolor"), Color.white)
  );
 }

 public void start() {
 }

 public void stop() {
 }

 public void destroy() {
 }

 public void paint(Graphics g) {
 }

 public String getAppletInfo() {
 }
}
