I require to capture a web page screen to store it on client's machine whenever client clicks print screen button. For this I googled and got that by embedding an applet with signature(trusted applet) in my jsp page i can do this. So I am trying with a simple applet for an standalone java class. On success I can try it for jsp after signing the applet. What I tried is:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
/* <applet code = MyApplet.class width="500" height="500">Java Applet for screen capture</applet> */
public class MyApplet extends Applet {
/* Applet Life cycle Methods */
public void start()
{
try{
// capture the whole screen
BufferedImage screencapture = new Robot().createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()) );
// Save as JPEG
File file = new File("D:/screencapture.jpg");
ImageIO.write(screencapture, "jpg", file);
System.out.println("screen capture finished : ");
}//try closing...
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("screen capture error : ");
e.printStackTrace();
}//catch closing...
}//start closing...
public void stop()
{
}
}
I am getting this:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.awt.AWTPermission" "createRobot")

Any help, Any idea will be appriciated.
I solved this problem. All I did is just pasted these lines in java.policy file(just search this file in your java installation folder and you will get it at 3 places and need to paste this at last in all files)
permission java.awt.AWTPermission "createRobot";
permission java.awt.AWTPermission "accessClipboard";
permission java.awt.AWTPermission "accessEventQueue";
permission java.awt.AWTPermission "showWindowWithoutWarningBanner";
permission java.awt.AWTPermission "readDisplayPixels", "read";
permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read, write, delete, execute";
