Serialization and applets : can't unserialize objects?

[PawnsMaster]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with serialization and applets : I have the following part
of code :
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new
URL(Utilities.getCodeBase(), demoFile + ".sav").openStream());

componentsCount = in.read(); // no problem

System.out.println(componentsCount);
for(int i = 0; i < componentsCount; i++) {
Piece p = (Piece)in.readObject(); // !! problem
add(p);
}
in.close();

Which throws me this exception :

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.swing)

By signing the class I made the unserialization work. But I still have a
problem : when I'm accessing my applet from my computer, no problem, but
when I try to access it from another computer of the network, IE crashes !!!

Please help me I don't know what else to do .

Please help me I don't know what else to do .

Are you swallowing exceptions?

This situation of IE crashing is most unfortunate,
do you acrually mean that IE terminates?

(Assuming no) Have you looked at the Java console in IE?
MSVM: Alt V(iew) | J(ava Console)
Sun VM: Alt T(ools) | Sun Java Console

What is an URL for an example fo the applet
(working or otherwise).

No, IE doesn't terminate, but it takes 100% of the processor !
And that's really curious, because when I call the applet from the server
where it is situated, it works fine, but if I call it from another computer
of the network it gets IE to do that crappy thing ...

Thanks for helping

Good, so we can probably get more details easily.

Turn curiosity to information..
System.out.println( "method name/params return value" )
at the start and end of every method, chack that yoiu
are not swallowing *any* exceptions then look closely
at the console.

If that fails, resort to..

I was wondering .. is it possible that the fact that I'm using JApplet could
be the problem ?
I put some debug lines to every functions, but it's crashing randomly,
sometimes It unserializes all of my elements but crash after, sometimes it
stops to the first element .... I can't understand where it does come from

Not very likely(*), but you can test that theory by
stripping the processes from behind the GUI and
seeing if that crashes.

* The only cause of this that I can think of is
'buggy Swing implementation in particular JRE',
but I have not heard of any Swing bugs that seem
related to the problem as described.

You need to proceed to an URL and code example to
have a good chance of progressing this further.

And again - *Please refrain from top-posting*
If you do not understand what that is,
please Google 'top-posting'.

unsigned Applets have many restrictions. See

for how to turn your Applet into an hybrid that can also run as an
application. Then it is much easier to debug.
