My current solution has been to start from the new .xml files in the 1.7.0b distribution and so far that has restored functionality.
That's useful to know, thanks.
I understand. I tried to keep the tone constructive, but obviously that didn't happen.
Open source efforts vary in their 'corporate backing'. My thinking was to volunteer a little time to be a tester for one or two different platforms. I know it's tough for a small effort to test on the major ~4 platforms adequately.

It's not a theory, it's a question. I've had numerous forum post
leading to mismatch between the XML header and the actual encoding, so
allow me the question.
It is a good question. I recently discovered that Java does not correctly deal with BOM in UTF-8-based files.

I think that now I understand : since OpenWFE 1.7.0preX (where X > 0),
jars are divided among regulars jars (jars/*.jar) that have all
permissions, and restricted jars (jars/restricted/*.jar) that have
only the permissions given by their component policy file and their
passwd.xml.
That's useful to know, thanks.

Tony, please understand that it's open source software and that I do
it apart from my regular job. I'm sorry if you lost time, but I have
to say that it's difficult for me to understand the tone of your
emails... I'm not a supplier.
