If you have code that needs to perform a privileged operation (eg. an applet accessing the local disk) then it needs to be done from trusted code. You can make code trusted by making the call from a privileged block as shown in the following example.

AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() {
   public Object run() {
        // add your privileged code here
        return null;
   }
});
