  • Summary:

    How is an ORB to determine whether or not it is in an applet context?
    The nearest that I can see is to check for the presence of
    a SecurityManager. If we are in an applet context, then there is a
    SecurityManager present, but the inverse (that the presence of a
    SecurityManager implies that we are in an applet) is not true.
    It is however the case that whenever a SecurityManager is present,
    potentially untrusted code is present, so the same constraints on the
    singleton ORB are probably appropriate.
    Therefore, I propose that the specification be changed to state
    that if System.getSecurityManager() returns a non-null result,
    the singeton ORB should be constrained to creating TypeCodes and Anys.
