    java.policy file

    Where (aka what directory) do you put a java.policy file on a website
    for a particular applet???

    There are presently no java.policy files on the web server.

    You can't put a policy file for an applet on the webserver because
    every user has a local installation of the JRE which he uses (or his
    browser) to execute the servlet. Your webserver has nothing to do with
    this!

    You could provide a java.polocy file for download, but every user of
    your applet would have to download that file and put it in his local
    java directory. Not a good idea...

      hmm. why is that such a bad idea?
      downloading a policy file via the webbrowser?
