This would have been very easy to verify.  If you had taken the time to do so
you would have found that those packaage.access and package.define settings
work just fine. You end up getting a ClassNotFoundException.

Here is an example JSP.  In this instance the checkPackageDefinition
code in the WebappClassLoader fails and a ClassNotFoundException is thrown.

<html>
<body>
This is a test of package access.

<%
   System.out.println("Before Class.forName()");
   try {
      Class clazz = Class.forName("org.apache.catalina.Globals");
      System.out.println("After Class.forName()");
   } catch(Exception e) {
      System.out.println("CLAZZ Exception: " + e.getMessage());
      e.printStackTrace();
   }
%>
</body>
</html>

Please don't submit a bug report when you are only speculating that there
may be a security bug.  If you can _prove_ that there is a security bug
please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], real security bugs should not 
be posted to an email list or submitted as a bugzilla report.
