Java and crossdomain.xml

Tags:

Does anyone have any experience with Java pulling data from another domain? Assuming my client has a minimum of 1.6.0_10, how likely is it for it to work. I've seen some posts saying it works, then others saying it doesn't, and still others saying it's broken in the later micro-updates. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Dan

What is Crossdomain XML and why do I need it?

A cross-domain policy is simply a user-defined set of permitted data access rules encapsulated in a crossdomain. xml file. It is only viable on servers that communicate via HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP. A cross-domain policy file is an XML document that grants a web client permission to handle data across one or more domains.

Do I need Crossdomain XML?

You need a crossdomain. xml file when your Speedtest Server uses external hosts as testing servers.

The crossdomain.xml in 6u10 has restricted functionality. It requires a policy allowing any code from any site to connect. See the documentation for more details.

There has been at least one case where an early access release has broken crossdomain.xml, but fixed before update was completed.
