I found the reason it was failing (but not yet the cure..), just in case others might hit this.... When tomcat was started (through Eclipse), it was running the security manager (-Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\catalina.policy"), which was throwing the exception.
I guess I either need to set the proper security level (need to learn about this) in the cataline.policy file, or, maybe remove this line - what I did to confirm it. Not sure if this line is added automatically by the eclipse plugin that I am using for tomcat (sysdemo), but at least I know now where to start addressing this. The connection pool also works now.

Many people have reported problems on Windows boxes with Tomcat and Java installed in directories with spaces in the names; you might reinstall using e.g. `C:\java` and `C:`tomcat_5.5` or whatever... > Having said that, what you suggest below is interesting and I > will address once I have "hello world" on XP working....

Maybe not the ideal approach. :-) FWIW! -- Hassan Schroeder ----------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webtuitive Design === (+1) 408-938-0567 === http://webtuitive.com dream. code. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Yahoo!
