Hi. Am I right in thinking that svgbrowser.bin.policy is used for when Batik is used as an application (at the command line), and svgbrowser.policy is for other times (e.g. in an applet)?

No I believe that svgbrowser.bin.policy is used when Batik is running from a 'binary' distribution, which means that it's code is mostly living in jar files, so each of those jar files needs to be granted appropriate permissions. svgbrowser.policy is used when Batik is running from the 'classes' directory (development time). When you run as an Applet then your policy is generally determined by the 'Host' (browser normally). It is one of the major ugliness that because we use security (to protect the system from rogue JavaScript) there is a significant potential for different behavior in the binary distribution (most commonly when a new JAR is added and permissions aren't granted to that JAR). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: batik-dev-unsubscribexmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: batik-dev-helpxmlgraphics.apache.org
