applet permissions 1

[chessbot]

I created a class using JFrames that accesses a class that reads, writes, and creates files. I have now created an almost identical file, except that I extended JApplet instead of JFrame and use init() instead of a constructor.
Now, whenever I try to interact with the files through the same class as before, I get the following exception:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir read)

How can I allow the applet to read the file?

Thanks!

You need to sign the applet. Applets, by default, are not allowed to access the host filesystem.
