Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Java Open Clients

Asking for permission in an applet

After creating and digitally signing your applet distribution files, you must write code that requests permission to establish network connections to servers other than the Web server from which your applet was downloaded. This is necessary because often the OpenEdge servers you are connecting to are on systems other than the ones from which the applet was loaded.

Although the procedure for asking for permission is different for the Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers, it is possible to support both browsers in the same applet, due to Java's ability to dynamically load classes.
