Question about signed applets

[JohnRodey <ti...@yahoo.com>]

I have a pivot applet that is currently self-signed.  When loading it asks
the user if they want to run the application.  If the user presses 'Run'
things work great and I can verify it because the clipboard is shared
between local applications and the applet.

However if they select 'Cancel' the applet still loads as if it were
unsigned.  Is there a way to catch this, so that if they push 'Cancel' I
can, or it can automatically, redirect them to an error page?

I was just thinking that I probably don't want my user thinking that
everything is working fine, until they attempt to do something that is
restricted.

Thanks!

You might be able to use java.security.AccessController.checkPermission() for this (you could potentially call it in your application's startup() method):
