Emailing from an applet

[Marc]

Hello,

How do I email the text from a component in an applet to a particular
email address using JAVA applets? I've tried simulating SMTP protocol but
I get a java.security.AccessControlException when trying to establish a socket
connection to my company's mail server. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

In order to properly do that, your applet needs to be "signed" with
full permissions. Without that signature, no web browser will give
you TCP/IP permissions.

You may want to check out a Certificate Authority such as Thawte
(www.thawte.com) or VeriSign (www.verisign.com) for more info.
(Thawte is considerably cheaper, though I am not aware of any others
out there that may be cheaper.)

Why not invoke a server-side (on the same server as your applet is, in order
that you avoid the security violations which arise from stepping outside
the sandbox when executing an applet) application passing it the text message
from your applet. The application, not restricted by security protocols
as applets are, can then send the message via the JavaMail API (see www.java.sun.com
for the necessary classes and libraries to utilize the JavaMail API) that
sends the text in an e-mail.

Or you could have your applet put on the same server as your e-mail server,
which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but should work.
