Hi, I've installed the j2sdkee1.2.1 from Sun on my Debian Linux box (i386). It runs the Blackdown jdk1.3.0-FCS. I was trying to make the converter EJB sample work. I can compile the ejb files and package them without problems. Once I try to deploy it using deploytool, it gives a problem: The log in the dialog 'Deployment Progress' reads: Contacted Server... Application ConverterApp transferred ConverterApp has 1 ejbs, 0 web components to deploy Deploying Ejbs... Processing beans... Generating wrapper code for ConverterBean Compiling wrapper code... Deployment Error: access denied (java.io.FilePermission /usr/lib/j2re1.3/lib/ext read) -- And a message box pops up saying 'There was a deployment error.java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occured in server thread; nested exception in: java.rmi.RemoteException: Error processing ejb jar: access denied (java.io.FilePermission /usr/lib/j2re1.3/lib/ext read)'. I'm running both the j2ee server and the deploymenttool as an ordinary user. Ther permissions of the directory in question are 755. The same error happens even if I change the permissions to 777. Any ideas? If you need more information about my setup or I can help in debugging, please let me know.
