NamingException in Applet

[askesis]

After upgrading from JBoss 3.2.1 with Jetty to JBoss 3.2.3 with Tomcat I get the following exception if I try to get to a statefulsession EJB on the server.

javax.naming.NamingException: Failed to retrieve Naming interface [Root exception is java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.NetPermission setDefaultAuthenticator)]

I have read all the docs available (including the pay docs), searched through the forums but still have no clue what to do. Anyone any suggestion?

TIA

HttpNamingContextFactory is trying to install a default java.net.Authenticator to integrate the http credentials with the ejb calls, but this is a priviledged operation not allowed in an applet. This possible failure needs to be caught and ignored in org.jboss.invocation.http.interfaces.Util.init.

Does that mean that JBoss must be adapted or that my applet must be adapted?

JBoss or you need to sign the jar containing the org.jboss.invocation.http.interfaces.Util class.

Will this adaption be done automagically (by you?) or should I file a bug (?) report somewhere?
