Hi, I have a Tomcat 5.5 installation on Debian Linux with Java 1.6.
I have a web application that create its own connection to an Oracle database. The ojdbc14.jar is included in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the web application. Now with the default configuration with security enabled, a SecurityException "java.lang.RuntimePermission getClassLoader" is thrown. I tried to apply a security policy to ojdbc14.jar with grant AllPermission, but without success. This is what I added to /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/50user.policy: grant codeBase "file:/<the path to the web application>/WEB-INF/lib/ojdbc.jar" { permission java.security.AllPermission; } This did not work. One particularity of the web application is that I do not deploy it with a war file. I created it using a context xml file in ${catalina.home}/conf/Catalina/localhost/<context name>.xml. Also the docBase point outside the ${catalina.home}. Of course, I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong... I looked on google, tomcat-docs, and other places without any luck... Maybe somebody could point me in the right direction? Or better yet tell me what is wrong :) Thanks, Hugues --------------------------------- All new Yahoo!
