836: Mainline

The Java security rules dictate that, when a browser runs a Java program, the resource locator allows files to be loaded from only a location identified with the place that produced the class.

Suppose, for example, that the file name is general.movies. Then, the resource locator will look for general.movies in the directory that holds the MovieAuxiliaries class.

Alternatively, if the file name includes a relative path, such as data/general.movies, then, the resource locator will look for general.movies in the data subdirectory of the directory that holds the MovieAuxiliaries class.
