Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.3.1
Using JRE version 1.3.1-beta Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
  User home directory = C:\Documents and Settings\pboysen
Proxy Configuration: no proxy


My application and security has worked for all previous versions
including JDK1.3._01.  I now get an AccessControlException.  The applet is
signed and I also have a security policy file the client uses. JCE is an
installed extension (jce1_2_1.jar,local_policy.jar,sunjce_provider.jar and
US_export_policy.jar are in JRE/1.3.1/lib/ext).

The error, policy file and source code are listed below:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
