the applet is loading fine, but when i press the submit button (to connect to servlet), i get the above error.. I think it has something to do witht the fact that my applet is on my local disk and im using localhost8080 url for the servlet..Can someone help me out here please. Thanks

/******** APPLET ********/

/*********** SERVLET **********/

public class Serv extends HttpServlet {

  //Initialize global variables
  public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
    super.init(config);
  }

  //Process the HTTP Get request
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    String param=request.getParameter("Msg");
    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter (response.getOutputStream());
    out.println("Received msg.."+param);
    out.close();
  }
}

That's a security exception. You don't have permission somewhere. Try compiling the applet as an application instead and see if you still get the error. If you do then you're probably trying something that's not allowed by the OS settings. Otherwise the security exception is being thrown by your browser or applet security settings.
