I'm trying to run this simple HelloWorld code written in Java from my browser (Chrome):
public class HelloWorld extends JApplet { public void init() { try { SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() { public void run() { JLabel lbl = new JLabel("Hello World"); add(lbl); } }); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("createGUI didn't complete successfully"); } } I compiled it with NetBeans, and then I created a WebApplication project. The HTML code that runs the applet is:
<html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> <p><applet code="HelloWorld" archive="applet_HelloWorld.jar" width="590" height="530"></applet></p> </body> </html> If run the applet from NetBeans it works. But when I run the HTML code by double clicking it, the following message pops up from the browser:
Your security settings have blocked a local application from running.
I tried with Internet Explorer and Firefox but nothing.
This message started to appear after the last update of Java. Where is the problem?

Inside the Control Panel window, click on Programs, then click on the Java icon to open the Java Control Panel. Inside the Java Control Panel window, go to the Security tab and select the High toggle from under the Security level for applications, not on the Exception Site List. Then, click Apply to save the changes.
Java has further enhanced security to make the user system less vulnerable to external exploits. Starting with Java 7 Update 51, Java does not allow users to run applications that are not signed (unsigned), self-signed (not signed by trusted authority) or that are missing permission attributes.
After reading Java 7 Update 21 Security Improvements in Detail mention..
With the introduced changes it is most likely that no end-user is able to run your application when they are either self-signed or unsigned.
..I was wondering how this would go for loose class files - the 'simplest' applets of all.
Your security settings have blocked a local application from running
That is the dialog seen for an applet consisting of loose class files being loaded off the local file system when the JRE is set to the default 'High' security setting.
Note that a slight quirk of the JRE only produced that on point 3 of.
If you load the simple applet (loose class file) seen at this resizable applet demo off the internet - which boasts an applet element of:
<applet code="PlafChanger.class" codebase="." alt="Pluggable Look'n'Feel Changer appears here if Java is enabled" width='100%' height='250'> <p>Pluggable Look'n'Feel Changer appears here in a Java capable browser.</p> </applet> It also seems to load successfully. Implying that:-
Applets loaded from the local file system are now subject to a stricter security sandbox than those loaded from the internet or a local server.
As of Java 7 update 51.
