I'm sure this is a question that must have been asked before -

Is it possible to deny an applet (or an application come to that) a
permission that it is normally granted, for example I have an applet loaded
from a jar file which I want to stop using sockets - i.e. I don't want it to
be able to connect at all, not even as a client. Can I create a policy file
entry that will let me do this?
