When I deployed the client as a Java applet (I know that this implies downloading the ".jar" files as well, but let's skip this for a moment), I ran into the following exception: com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx[org/apache/soap/util/mime/MimeUtils.getUniqueValue]: Unable to access system property: user.name I'm aware that Java applets are not allowed to access this specific system property, so I have 2 question: - Why do the SOAP classes actually need this system property at all? - Any workaround to handle this? Thanks Ted
