Java Applet can't load images from web

Question

I have wrote my first java applet.

It basically loads some images from my Django webserver and then the user can modify them.

I developed it in Eclipse, and I had no problems at all. When I tried it with a test page, on the java console come out this error:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission www.hyros.net resolve)
    at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:374)
    at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:546)

    at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkConnect(SecurityManager.java:1031)

    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)
Eccezione: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission www.hyros.net resolve)

The incriminated piece of code:

for(int i=0; i< numero_immagini; i++) {
    try {
        URL url = new URL(this.getParameter(IMMAGINE+i));
        images[i] = ImageIO.read(url);
        floors[i] = Integer.parseInt(this.getParameter(PIANO_IMMAGINE+i));
    } catch (IOException ioe) {ioe.printStackTrace();}
}

For the test i tried an image from my local webserver, but the error comes out with every possible link, internal or external.

Thank you in advance.

Ok, Solved it!

The line of code to change is

URL url = new URL(this.getParameter(IMMAGINE+i));

to

URL url = new URL(getCodeBase(), this.getParameter(IMMAGINE+i));

Unless the applet is signed, it will not be able to access images at a different location other then that of the originating server. Here you could use:

images[i] = getImage(getDocumentBase(), IMMAGINE + i);

I forgot to mention it!!! For the code, I prefer to edit only the URL, because in the rest of the app I work with BufferedImage. – Marco Fedele Sep 27 '12 at 23:22
