My Processing sketch starts up fine when running within Processing.

When I "Export" the sketch and run it as an applet within a web page, I get the following error dumped into my Java console.  Am I doing something wrong?

I seem to need a "FileInputStream" to pass to the Properties object, otherwise I would try to use a Processing-style "loadStrings" ...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,

Code:

Error while running applet.
java.lang.RuntimeException: The applet was not inited properly, or security restrictions prevented it from determining its path.

at processing.core.PApplet.sketchPath(PApplet.java:4686)
at processing.core.PApplet.savePath(PApplet.java:4716)
	  etc.
 

Code:

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.Properties;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;

  void initialize() {
    FileInputStream input = null;
    Properties prop;
    Document d = null;
   
   try {
    input = new FileInputStream(savePath("settings.conf"));
   } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
     println(e.getMessage());
     e.printStackTrace();
     return;
   }
   prop = new Properties();
    try {
	prop.load(input);
    } catch (IOException e) {
	println("IO exception");
    }
    name = prop.getProperty("name");
