Java 2 security policy file examples don't work -- are missing a needed line
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-701
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-701
     Project: Derby
        Type: Bug
  Components: Documentation  
    Versions: 10.1.1.1    
    Reporter: Jean T. Anderson
    Priority: Minor


These security policy file examples don't work as is:

   http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/rdevcsecure871406.html
   http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/rdevcsecure871422.html
   http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/rdevcsecure871439.html

Each example needs this additional line:

   permission java.io.FilePermission "${derby.system.home}","read";

The email thread is here:

To show one of the examples, here is the current text for Example 1:

grant codeBase "file://f:/derby/lib/derby.jar" {
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "createClassLoader";
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission "derby.*", "read";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${derby.system.home}${/}-", 
"read,write,delete";
};

It needs to be this instead:

grant codeBase "file://f:/derby/lib/derby.jar" {
   permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "createClassLoader";
   permission java.util.PropertyPermission "derby.*", "read";
   permission java.io.FilePermission "${derby.system.home}","read";
   permission java.io.FilePermission 
"${derby.system.home}${/}-","read,write,delete";
};
