Hi all,
I manage a Java app that I've released usingJWS.
It may be relevant that it is a signed app.
This kind of ability is usually configured in
the 'Java Control Panel' (or whatever Sun is
calling it this instant). For example, the JCP
might be configured to allow sandboxed apps.
(which might then obtain files using the JNLP
API's FileOpenService) but automatically /reject/
trusted apps.
But that is not how the plug-in is configured by
default, and would require special set-up.
Having said that, there have been bugs that
(for example) restricted fully signed and trusted
apps. from accessing files outside a narrow set
of directories considered 'safe' by the OS (the
particular case I am thinking of involved applets
and JWS apps. that were launched using IE on Vista).
I proposed a solution for that bug, but never got
any testing results back. (I don't run Vista).
