| Any pointers as to how I gain a certain privilege from an applet? I already have allPermissions, but I am still getting a securityexception when trying to create a Robot object |

| it is a well known fact, if you bother to sign your applet you ought to know that |

| Mupolan, well, I can get read/write/clipboard perms from this selfsigned cert, so I guess it works somewhat |

| Mupolan, what I am trying to find out here is whether you know for a fact that createRobot needs signing by a real cert, unlike everything else, or if you are just making a blanket statement ... because it sounds _very_ strange to me |

| Gladis, Yes, applets are off-topic, Java Web Start is the way forward. |

| Gladis, I have not used Robot myself so I can not say that I am 100% sure. Can you read/write files with your self signed applet? |

Mupolan, works in appletviewer, not in browser
Now I tried clearing and deleting every conceivable cache, in case the permission set granted to the applet was cached somewhere |

No difference
Mupolan, yes.

Until I introduced the Robot class
I just realized something even weirder
It works as long as it doesn't get called from javascript |

Windows
It works as long as the method is invoked by any other means than a method called from javascript
I fooled the mechanism
Now it works |
