Applet - Unable to write file

I'm trying to write sample file from applet but is not working. Below is the code.

Applet

public class PasteImageApplet extends JApplet {

    Clipboard clipboard;
    Toolkit toolkit;
    JLabel lbl;

    public String getClipboardImageURL(String server) {
        lbl.setText("pasting image");

        String url = "";
        try {
            DataFlavor dataFlavor = DataFlavor.imageFlavor;
            System.out.println(dataFlavor.getDefaultRepresentationClass());
            Object object = null;

            try {
                object = clipboard.getContents(null)
                        .getTransferData(dataFlavor);
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Image found.");
                try
                {
                Writer output = null;
                String text = "Test Write File";
                File file = new File("write.txt");
                output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
                output.write(text);
                output.close();
                }
                catch(Exception ex)
                {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Error writing file"+ex);
                    return "" ;
                }
                //return "";
            } catch (Exception e) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "No image found.");
                return "";
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error."+e);
            return "";
        }

         return url;
    }

    public void init() {
        lbl = new JLabel("");
        lbl.setText("applet started");
        add(lbl);
        toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
        clipboard = toolkit.getSystemClipboard();
    }
}

                Copy some image data to your clipboard, accept the applet (it only accesses the clipboard) and click the button :-)

I didn't get any error as well. Please advice.

That's because applets live there own sandbox, where they require special permission to perform certain operations, like read or write the disk of a client machine. Remember, applets execute within the context of the client machine, they are guests and need to follow the house rules

Check out What Applets can and cannot do for more details

An applet cannot establish a File on the server. That is not how servers work. If a server accepts uploads, it must provide specific functionality to enable that and the applet must use that functionality.

As long as the functionality to accept an upload is on the same server, the applet can remain sand-boxed.

you can see the console for applets via the (windows) taskbar, you right click the java icon(when applet is running it should appear on the lower right) and right click > open console, you can debug there, this is where the stack trace of an applet goes.
