Stella I believe you are correct. There are two places that this is usually set. One is in the /j2sdk/jre/lib/security directroy/java.policy. The other location is in /tomcat/conf/catalina.policy
Permissions for the JVM/Tomcat to open sockets, read directories, etc. are controlled in these files. Here is a link that is for Tomcat 3.3 but can give you an idea how to edit and control this http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-security.html#per missions Hope this helps Michael "Good execution of poor requirments is still poor execution" -----Original Message----- From: stella luna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 4:32 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: MySQL connection denied org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to get connection, DataSource invalid: "Unable to connect to any hosts due to exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission file.encoding rea exerpt from my web.xml file <context-param> <param-name> javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.sql.dataSource </param-name> <param-value> jdbc:mysql:///tgrant_com_- _Example,com.mysql.jdbc.Driver,username,passwrod </param-value> </context-param> Anyone have any clue?
