Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) Question:
What are the restrictions imposed by a Security Manager on Applets?
Answer:
Applets cannot read or write files on the client machine that's executing it. They cannot load libraries or access native libraries. They cannot make network connections except to the host that it came from. They cannot start any program on the client machine. They cannot read certain system properties. Windows that an applet brings up look different than windows that an application brings up.
