Hi All - I found a solution to the problem I was experiencing - I changed the following in my JavaHome\jre\lib\security\java.policy file :
grant { permission java.security.AllPermission; }; It was previously set to grant codeBase "file:${java.home}/lib/ext/*" { permission java.security.AllPermission; }; I had previously done the same in the java.policy file in TomcatHome\conf\java.policy and I thought that this should have fixed the problem because I thought that the java.policy file in the Tomcat folder would override those in JavaHome\jre\lib\security\java.policy but this doesn't seem to be the case, or is it ? If anybody can clear this up for me I'd be very grateful as I would like to make sure that I'm not compromising security in some way. Regards, Jonathan O'Donovan Web Developer, EuroKom
