I'm using the Java Preferences API to store and retrieve small pieces of information in a swing/java application.
Now i have setup Java Web start to launch the application from my web page, and I get a security exception. In order to get rid of this exception, I'd have to prompt the user for permissions. And I refuse to do that because my application does nothing else that would require the user's permission.
That's why I need an alternative solution for storing a few key values from one execution to another. Some sort of cookie or whatever. Do you know any please ?
