Hello all,
         I have modified some code from Chapter 5 of Java Server 
Programming J2EE edition regarding XML parsing. My aim is to be able to 
parse xml contect from within a Java Applet.

I have downloaded appropriate XML classes from sun.com, installed them on 
my machine, and all worked fine.

I placed these additional classes onto my IIS webserver, and set 
the 'archive' parameter within html page to these jar files. 

I was able to view this applet properly within I.E. However using 
netscape, i would receive : 
netscape.security.AppletSecurityException: security.class from local disk 
trying to access url: http://server/test/structure.xml

As non of my applets for this page come from disk (they all come from the 
same webserver (server - non by ip address or other host name), i could 
not understand this.

So i figured that the only classes to be loaded from local disk were the 
actual jre, and any files in local machines classpath.

so i removed classpath environment variable, and tryed same in netscape 
and all works fine. It appears that if a class exists in both local 
classpath, and on webserver, netscape uses classpath first. However, as 
this causes error, i would like to force netscape to use my downloaded 
version.

Am i going around this issue the correct way, or am i missing something 
obvious...


Thank you.
