I'm trying to run a basic hello world Java applet in my browser, but I keep getting "Application Blocked by Security Settings" with the following message:
SecurityException: Your security settings have blocked a local application from running
I tried changing the security settings through the Java Control Panel, but there is no slider, just certificates.
I get the same error when trying to open the .html file in other browsers.
Applet code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class HelloWorldApp extends JApplet
{
public void init()
{
JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
add(label);
}
}
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<applet code="HelloWorldApp.class" width="300" height="100"></applet>
</body>
</html>
Question: How can I get the applet to work? Or rather, how can I change the security settings to allow the applet to run locally, if that is the issue and not something else?
Okay, after deleting Java 6 and 7 and re-installing 7 and restarting the computer, it now works. Did not know I had to delete the older version even after I updated to 7 as I thought that was done automatically on update.
