Is it possible for an internet service provider (ISP) to allow java-based
CGI scripts to run on their server without potentially comprimising security?
ie. Is it possible for someone to set up a JRE and restrict file access,
socket creation etc.?
I've heard something about a "SecurityManager" but I haven't been able to
dig up any information on it.
Any help or suggestions you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
