In what way does Java provide sandboxing of untrusted code?

  Untrusted Java web start applications and Java applets can't do anything that could harm the real operating system. We had to buy and keep on renewing an expensive code-signing cert so our app could save a local file. Every once in a while, a security researcher claims to have gotten untrusted bytecode to run outside the boundaries of the sandbox.
