Um, sounds like you're using an applet, which unfortunately most
browsers are still using Java 1.0 and the AWT... even so, the
problems you're running into are clearly security issues, you'd have
to sign your applet in order to allow them to handle those tasks.
Standard java supports those features.

Running a java client from the command line doesn't have any of
these restrictions.  Take a look into java signing utilities.
