Java Security Example: Writing Files

Here's an applet that tries to write to the file named "writetest".

This applet won't work unless you've configured your policy to allow it to write such a file; if not, you will see an AccessControlException. If you've configured your system to allow applets from this applets' location to write the specified file, check your current directory! You'll find a file there named "writetest".
