> When using a commons.net.ftp in a (signed) applet, we encountered an unhandles _SecurityException_ in _DefaultFTPFileEntryParserFactory.createFileEntryParser_ in some cases.
> If the applet was being hosted on my Windows Vista devmachine, connecting to FTP servers was no issue.
> However, as soon as we uploaded the applet to our webserver (CentOS), things stopped working. After some debugging, we found that there was a _SecurityException_ being thrown by the following code in _DefaultFTPFileEntryParserFactory.createFileEntryParser_:
> {{parserClass = Class.forName(key);}}
> {{parser = (FTPFileEntryParser) parserClass.newInstance();}}
> The toString() of the exception gave:
> {{java.lang.SecurityException: class "UNIX Type: L8"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package}}
> (Note: When using a different FTP server, the string was obviously different.)
> The exception got caught by the generic catchblock at the bottom that doesn't really do anything.
> We managed to solve this by taking the code inside the catching of _ClassNotFoundException_ and use that to catch the _SecurityException_.
> I hope this is somewhat helpfull. :)
