JDK-4692415 - Jaws application freezing if you launching it as a root,throught browser on Sol
Description
The javaws script depends on the full pathname with
which it is invoked from the browswer.  Specifically the
APPHOME environment variable is set based on the full
pathname used to invoke javaws.

If the full pathname begins with an extra slash, for
example //home/tmarble/javaws/javaws then the
application will be downloaded but will fail when
starting with an AccessControlException.
Comments
WORK AROUND Insure that there are no extra slashes in the browswer's Helper Application settings.
