The JVM, if using a security manager, could prevent you from calling Runtime.getRuntime(), but if that happened you'd see a SecurityException. Once you start the script, it is executing outside of the JVM. > I am using Ubuntu Server 12.04. If i run the script manually from the command > line the script can access > the URL with no problem. Why cant the script that tomcat has executed > access this resource. The first thing that comes to mind would be permissions. If the script runs from the command line, it would run as your user. If it is run through the JVM and Tomcat, it'll run as the user that is running Tomcat. Have you tried logging in as the user that is running Tomcat and executing the script?
