I've written an applet to view pictures as a slide show. I came across some java code that would allow me create a string array of all .jpg images in a dir rather than hard coding them:

void getPictures(){
 File dir = new File(filePath);  
 picture = dir.list();
 if (picture != null) {
   FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
       return name.contains(".jpg");
     }
   };
   picture = dir.list(filter);
   println(picture);
 }
}

this also runs fine from processing.
However, when I run this from a browser I get the error:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <filePath> read)

which stops the applet reading the directory contents.

Is there an easy fix to this security problem? All the searches I've done elsewhere have baffled me with java speak way over my head!

Thanks
