security manager does not give read permission on a context by default

           Summary: security manager does not give read permission on a
                    context by default
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.12
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Under 4.0.3 with the default catalina.policy and -security, JSPs in each context have 
read access to files in that context. Under 4.1.12 this behaviour seems to be broken.

A test.jsp fails under 4.1.12 with the following error when run with the security 
manager:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission 
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/examples/test2.new read)

the following is the content of the test JSP:

<%
String fullPath = pageContext.getServletContext().getRealPath("/test2.new");
out.println("Path: " + fullPath);
java.io.File foo = new java.io.File(fullPath);
if (foo.exists())
        out.println("Exists: " + fullPath);
        else {
                out.println("does not exist");
        }
