Hi, I hit an infinite recursion loop probably related to PolicyFile that exists in Java 9 build 181 for windows 64-bit. It might be related to JDK-8077418 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8077418>
I haven't tracked down what is causing our webstart app to hit this problem yet, but I thought I would let you know sooner than later. Also, it probably is not a problem for our particular application as I should be able to set the security manager to null which I think/hope will bypass this issue. I will try today to reproduce it in our app so I can confirm if setting security manager to null will work for us. The stack looks like the following: (with many repeat stacks omitted) Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.lang.StackOverflowError at java.base/java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.getPermissions( PolicyFile.java:1135) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.getPermissions( PolicyFile.java:1082) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.implies(PolicyFile.java:1038) at java.base/java.security.provider.ProtectionDomain.implies( ProtectionDomain.java:323) at java.base/java.security.provider.ProtectionDomain.impliesWit hAltFilePerm(ProtectionDomain.java:355) at java.base/java.security.provider.AccessControlContext.checkP ermission(AccessControlContext.java:450) at java.base/java.security.provider.AccessController.checkPermi ssion(AccessController.java:895) at java.base/java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Security Manager.java:558) at jdk.javaws/com.sun.javaws.security.JavaWebStartSecurity.chec kPermission(JavaWebStartSecurity.java:237) at java.base/java.lang.SecurityManager.checkRead(SecurityManager.java:897) at java.base/java.io.File.isDirectory(File.java:845) at java.base/sun.net.www.ParseUtil.fileToEncodedURL(ParseUtil.java:299) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.canonicalizeCodeb ase(PolicyFile.java:1665) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.access$700( PolicyFile.java:263) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile$7.run(PolicyFile.java:1139) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile$7.run(PolicyFile.java:1136) **** and again **** at java.base/java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.getPermissions( PolicyFile.java:1135) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.getPermissions( PolicyFile.java:1082) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.implies(PolicyFile.java:1038) at java.base/java.security.provider.ProtectionDomain.implies( ProtectionDomain.java:323) at java.base/java.security.provider.ProtectionDomain.impliesWit hAltFilePerm(ProtectionDomain.java:355) at java.base/java.security.provider.AccessControlContext.checkP ermission(AccessControlContext.java:450) at java.base/java.security.provider.AccessController.checkPermi ssion(AccessController.java:895) at java.base/java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Security Manager.java:558) at jdk.javaws/com.sun.javaws.security.JavaWebStartSecurity.chec kPermission(JavaWebStartSecurity.java:237) at java.base/java.lang.SecurityManager.checkRead(SecurityManager.java:897) at java.base/java.io.File.isDirectory(File.java:845) at java.base/sun.net.www.ParseUtil.fileToEncodedURL(ParseUtil.java:299) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.canonicalizeCodeb ase(PolicyFile.java:1665) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.access$700( PolicyFile.java:263) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile$7.run(PolicyFile.java:1139) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile$7.run(PolicyFile.java:1136) **** above lines start the stack that repeats until overflow **** at java.base/java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.getPermissions( PolicyFile.java:1135) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.getPermissions( PolicyFile.java:1082) at java.base/sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.implies(PolicyFile.java:1038) -- Tom
