Thank you but I have tried that.

Thanks for your response. In posting the code fragment, I just wanted to let you all know what I am trying to do. I know it doesnt handle exceptions quite well, but I have posted the stack trace I got on my machine (which doesnt help me much)

You are right in pointing out that I am trying to access a remote system resource (obvious from the code). When I try an image on the local system (like "http://localhost/images/someImage.gif"), it works pretty well. I am guessing, its because my IP is not recognized by the remote system's policy (whatever that means), that I am getting this crap. Thats fine and I'll go with it. But I need an alternate solution.

I need to load images from different webservers in an applet and do some silly stuff on them. I can not copy these images to the document base of the applet because those are lots of images(could be 3 to 4 million a day). This is driving me nuts.

Any ideas?

Once again, Thanks.

> Actually, AccessController is throwing an exception to indicate that a requested access (to a critical system resource such as the file system or the network) is denied.

> Also, just catching an exception and doing nothing is also a bad practise. The least you could have done is to print the stack trace where you are catching the exception. You could have found out the actual cause of error.
