Java applet to create a local chat forum

[rigidboss]

Hello All...

I have a requirement to create a chat forum..

I cannot use php or other related stuff. I'm not provided with database even..

My idea is that I can use java applet to create a chat window...

What ever post which when given, it will be saved in a file locally and the contents of the file will be displayed in other window...

So for the user, it resembles as a live chatting.

But through applets, i not able to read or write a file locally.

Java security exception happening.

Please tell me what i should do.

If I use swing / JFC am successful in implmenting my logic. But it can be done in a web based.

It can only be used as a stand alone tool.

Please guide me plssssssssss!
