it is possible
its possible to gain system access if you sign your ****** - which will break you out of the sandbox. for example there are FTP ******s online on some sites.
i have never implemented signatures because i think theres a fee for it.

Java won't give system access through a webpage, but it is possible through a locally installed program. Support companies like Motive (www.motive.com) use Java for system access... but they have a HEAVILY modified API.... so much so, that the language is not proper Java... more of a hybrid between Java and native code.
There are always flaws and possibilities, but none that I know of. The official word is that Java is not allowed to have system access.

Guest repliedjava
only runs in a browser sandbox. no permissions to the host system. activex will do if the user is using ie and they give permissions...

Which is presumably why everybody recommends blocking download of ActiveX controls
Are you sure you can't use Java for this sort of thing? I thought it was a full blown programming language and could be stored locally and run from the page.
I'm not arguing about it just asking as I freely admit I don't know - my son is the java whizz in the family - earns nearly as much as me and still comes round and raids the fridge and cakebox !!

JS or Java as a language will not give system access. You won't be able to get a modem to disconnect using JS or J. There may be a possibility of doing it with ActiveX.

Probably confusing JavaScript with Java but what does an old mainframer know about this stuff - I'm still waiting for BAL.net

whether you're using .net (the future ) or something else, i'd be gobsmacked if it were possible to use client-side script to kill off what is essentially a client-side process. javascript just doesn't have that sort of ability/access (this behaviour is by design) afaik (which might not be that far...)

We need to be able to force a modem disconnect for a .NET web application using JS....
