Mark: Excellent. Thanks very much for all your help - I actually remember now that this fix was talked about a good twelve months ago.
SOAP DEVELOPERS: With regard to the problem listed below, which stops Apache SOAP being used in applets without security problems, and yet is blindingly easy to fix, could you advise on either a) if it is being fixed or b) what the rationale is behind it? Many thanks, Richard.

However, here is what you do: Unpack all the Apache SOAP source code onto your computer. You can use the stack dump from your plugin console to find the org.apache.xxxx class which is blowing up or use the search in your IDE to look for the System.getSystemProperties().getProperty("jaxb.debug") (I am not 100% sure of the syntax here) call in the code. Then, you can change a line which looks like this: debug=System.getSystemProperties().getProperty("jaxb.debug"); to debug=false; Then, compile up the APACHE soap code, and jar it, and refer to the new jar instead of soap.jar in your html file. All should then work. Of course, this is a hack which you will need to repeat when you update your soap code, but you should not need to do it that often. Perhaps one of the real SOAP developers could put a try{}catch block around that line, and set debug to false when there is a security exception. If you have any trouble with this, let me know tomorrow and I will send the actual offending .java file. Tks, M.
