Hello.I am writting the java web start application which I haven't to sign.I need to use methods InetAddress.getAllByName(),InetAddress.getLocalHost() which use themethod chechConnect() of the SecurityManager thus my application hasto get a java.io.SocketPermission for 127.0.0.1, "resolve".I was wondering if you could suggest me how to get such permissionwithout signing my java web start application.

If so then I doubt whether there is any way you cando this.But what I wanted to ask is: why do you want it ?  I can't think of much usefor that information, and -- even if Java made it available to your restrictedapplication -- the data isn't likely to be much use or very reliable.  Forinstance the machine I'm typing into thinks it knows what its numeric IPaddress and hostname are, but neither the IP nor the hostname are of any use atall outside my immediate LAN (and wouldn't necessarily be of any use eveninside the LAN except that I like to use a very static local configuration).If your application were running on this machine, then even if I were willingto let it read that information, I can't think of anything obviously useful itcould do with it.    -- chris
