I all,

I wrote an applet, and I get some configuration from an xml
file on the server where the applet resides.
I'd like to modify the preferences and save them in the
same xml file (prensent in the server where the applet is)

Is it possible? I got a security exception!
Is there some way to do this or security manager
do not allow in any case.

If I want yto keep some configuration and update them,
how could I procede?

thanks
giammy

You'd have to configure your webserver to allow clients to modify files
on there. This might be dangerous though: What if a user uploads a virus to
your webserver?

You could have a user-account system and let your users update their
preference via JSP or PHP code. When you've got that working, you could
design your applet to use your JSP/PHP interface under the covers.
