javascript reading files through java

hello,
  i am attempting to create a file reader in javascript using java objects. 
i am creating a URL object, sending its stream (openStream) to an 
InputStreamReader and that to a BufferedReader. when the openStream code is 
executed, the following error occured:

JavaScript Error: uncaught Java exception
netscape/security/AppletSecurityException
("security.Couldn't connect to 'www.hotmail.com'
with origin from 'members.xoom.com'.")

i realize there are certain restrictions for accessing files across servers, 
but is there anyway around it short of a signed script? the URL is:

http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/cyanide_7/JavaScript%20File%20Reader/reader.html

TIA - Cyanide_7
