[JDEV] Errors while starting the applet

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi,
Haven't used this particular applet, But that access control exception 
means you do not have a signed applet. If the applet needs to access 
remote host it needs to request additional perms and that means it has 
to be signed.  If you didn't get a signed applet you can sign it with 
your own signature. Hope the article at http://raditha.com/java/sandbox/ 
would help you with that. As for the applet not loading up please check 
your web server log file to see if the JabberApplet.jar has in deed been 
delivered.

Having said all that i am sure someone would object to our discussing 
the applet since it's a client software.
