Java 1.7.51 internet restrictions for applets
In the previous months I developed a sandbox Java applet for an academic project. I wasn't able to sign it with a trusted Certificate Authority because of the restricted budget. With the release of Java 1.7.51 I found that the new security restrictions forbid the execution of the applet, because of the lack of signature. Until now, I have found two rough solutions to this problem: ask the user to include the applet page on his/her exception lists; ask the user to set the Java security level to "Medium" (which, of course, is a risky manoeuvre). Is there a way to overcome the restrictions
