    I want to know the restrictions imposed by a java applet on general programming with java. Basically I want to understand things we can do and things we cannot do...you know, where I might hit the silver lining? PS: I am not so proficient in java technologies

      This is the 'executive summary' From memory and without bothering to search, a java applet cannot [should not?] go outside of the JVM except to 'phone home'. There is or should be no local IO.


      Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.

        There is a java applet capable of reading the mac address. How do you think a browser application would be able to achieve this?

          Getting your applet signed (such as by Verisign) can increase the things you are allowed to do by giving you a little more access to things outside of the 'sandbox'. Getting your applet signed does cost money...
