Dear Srijoy,

Again the answer is in the ETSI specs. Normally you only
select files from the GSM application with select APDUs
as this is normlly the only applet receiving APDU process 
calls.

To access GSM files from a toolkit applet you must get a
instance of sim.access.SIMView interface. This is acomplished
by calling sim.access.SIMSystem.getTheSIMView().
Please note that the object returned is a JCRE owned object
(not owned by the GSM applet as you first may think from the fact
that it implements the Shareable interface). 
Then you call the select method on this interface to select a file
and access methods to read, update, etc. the file. For example
to read the Location information  from DF GSM, EF LOCI you would 
proceed as follows:

        // Get the SIMView object
        sim.access.SIMView theView = sim.access.SimSystem.getTheSIMView();
        
        
        // select DF GSM and then EF IMSI
        theView.select( sim.access.FID_DF_GSM );
        theView.select( sim.access.FID_EF_LOCI );
        
        // read the IMSI
        theView.readBinary( (short) 0,          // file offset
                            buffer,             // buffer to store result
                            (short) 0,          // offset in buffer where to store
                            (short) 11 );       // length to read. (all 11 bytes) 

Without authorisation to read this file this code would throw a
SIMViewException with the reason SIMViewException.AC_NOT_FULFILLED to
indicate that this file needs CHV1 for read , update or rehabilitate 
commands. 
You can't set these access condition level from your applets code. To
allow applets to have access to files which need a certain access
condition
you need to specify which access condition will be assumed true
for all file accesses of this applet during installation. This is done
by specifying the correct "Access Domain Data" in the install(install)
apdu
during applet installation after the applet loading. 
See GSM 03.48 (ETSI 101 181) for the applet loading specs and security 
mechanisms.
Be aware that normally only the network operator can activate the 
loader/installer applet on the card and issue these commands.

Martin
