I am trying to execute this program, http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/ThirdParty/WebCrawler/WebCrawler.java The program compiles without any error after i referred this page, http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t146972-web-crawler.html

But while executing using the command "appletviewer WebCrawler.html" i get this exception..

Exception in thread "Thread-4"

By default, an applet may only connect to the same server + port from which it is located. You could do one of the following:

  1. Convert the app into an application, removng the security restriction
  2. Use a trusted/signed applet

Also you could have a look at configuring the crossdomain for the applet, see:

  • Reimus- I tried to convert it into a signed applet. But i am struck in assigning the start class in MANIFEST File. Which class should i add? This "public class WebCrawler extends Applet implements ActionListener, Runnable" class must be added or "public static void main (String argv[])" must be added.? – rakesh Jul 14 '12 at 06:14

It's pretty straight forward to self-sign an applet (which you can do for free). If you don't sign the applet you'll only get bare minimum security access and won't give access to the sockets.

Simple 3 step guide is here:
