Hello together!

I am trying to write a textfile on a Nokia 6230i.

I create the connection like that:

FileConnection fc=(FileConnection)Connector.open(path,Connector.READ_WRITE);

in the variable path I have the following value:
file:///C:/Galerie/myfile.txt

but I just get the following error:
Security java/lang/SecurityException Access denied

Can anybody tell me why?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Markus

Hi Markus1982,

'SecurityException' thrown can be due to two reasons:
1. The MIDlet is not signed using a valid certificate.
2. All the required permissions are not given in the jad/manifest files.

There are a lot of discussions with regard to 'MIDlet signing' and 'setting of permissions'. Please search the forum discussions for more info.

Best Regards,
Gracy

There may be a third option that the folder ur trying to access to write ur file is not available for applications to read or write data at all like an inbox folder u dont have any access to it whatsoever.

Just to add : If your MIDlet is not signed, you will be getting permission request messages, you have to allow those permission messages, else also the Security exception may be thrown.

Regards
Gopal

I was having the same problem (Security Exception: Access Denied) with some emulators like 6230i and 5300, but it was working with S40 SDK emulators.

I think this problem come with some mobiles have some restriction on the paths.
You may want try this path (It's working )
"file:///E:/myfile.txt"

By the way you can get the roots

Enumeration enu = FileSystemRegistry.listRoots();
while ( enu.hasMoreElements() )
append(enu.nextElement().toString(), null);
