AccessControlException while an applet is executing

Hi to all:

I am developing an applet and I show it in the main JSP page of a service place in Tomcat (Linux).
The applet needs to access to some data in a smartcard and I use another class for this purpose. This class uses javaxsmartcardio and JNA.jar

In the first access from the applet to this class, the JVM shows this error:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects)
at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPackageAccess(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin2.applet.Applet2SecurityManager.checkPackageAccess(Unknown Source)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at PinApplet.init(PinApplet.java:47)
at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Excepción: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects)

Why occurs this error?
I think about the permissions to access to low level (hardware) functions, but the exception is thrown in the line when a method of the class that implemented the access to the smartcard is first called.
I think about the permissions to the .class file, but all the involved files have 777.

Maybe, this message should be in "Java for devices, Card and TV", but I think that the error is in the applet or in something related with the browsers.


Thanks in advance
Dani

    For any kind of file access from an applet you have to sign it. See this http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/security/tour1/index.html and google for various resources.

    Ok, I read the information in the link.
    I suppose that your answer is that the error is caused by problems with access permissions, because your answer is not enough precise.
    If I have any problems, I will reply here.

    P.S. What does the "badgerbadgerbadger" tag mean??

    Good question. I think it means that everyone who uses the tag thinks the entire tagging system is stupid or pointless, but I'd like to hear their thoughts on it.

    The exception and stack trace already told you that. 'Access denied' is perfectly clear.
    because your answer is not enough precise.
    I fail to see anything imprecise about his answer. For any kind of file access from an applet you have to sign it. Nothing imprecise there.

    I find this response somewhat offensive.

    Aah. So not merely stupid and pointless, but possibly counter-productive and dangerous!

    Too bad. To be honest, I had not used tags before, and was wondering if they had any positive aspects (and if so, how). That post has turned me against them. But I will not be joining the badgerbadgerbadger brigade, and will still happily use emoticons. ;)
