You are right with getCodeBase(). Somehow your patch looks reverse and 
the solution is not correct in my opinion as documentbase points to the 
html file the applet was referenced. We need to get only the path to 
it. I will do some tests if this is correct with SUNs appletviewer.

Kaffe has very strange SecurityManager implementation. We eihter need to 
fix it or add some workarounds to gcjwebplugin. I really prefer the 
first one as the appletviewer works otherwise with other jvms.
