Thank you *very* much for that fast answer.
I contacted the ActiTime developers. They're very helpful and would like me to
turn off security completely and tell me what's happening. For two reasons I
wouldn't like to do that:
1) I don't know how to do that
2) I don't want to do that because the docs (yeah I read the docs!!) explicitly
warned doing this unless you know what you're doing. So I don't. See 1).
So, they said it's very likely a permission problem. I grepped the
logfile with grep -i permiss catalina* and it really gave some read
permission denied. And it was related to logging. A config file
/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/actitime/WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties
was denied read access to, unfortunately there is no such file with that
name.
The full line was:
Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.io.FilePermission
/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/actitime/WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties read)
Here's the policy:
grant codeBase file:/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/actitime/- {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission getClassLoader;
permission java.util.PropertyPermission *, read,write;
permission java.io.FilePermission ALL FILES, read;
// Database access
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission
accessClassInPackage.org.apache.jasper.compiler;
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission
accessClassInPackage.org.apache.jasper.compiler.*;
// Net access to Mysql
permission java.net.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:3306, connect,resolve;
};
grant codeBase file:/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/actitime/WEB-INF/lib/* {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission accessDeclaredMembers;
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission getClassLoader;
permission java.util.PropertyPermission *, read;
};
For some reason I hoped that the line with ALL FILES and read
would include permission to read files there. Even changing to
read,write didn't help (in case the app wanted to actually create it's
'logging.properties' file).
Oh and by the way, it works out of the box on my OpenSuSE test install
at home :-(
But you wanted a stack trace. Here's a stack trace attached. I have
started the server, accessed the page with the error message once and
shut down the server immediately so it should contain everything.
