You need to add an appropriate permissions entry to your catalina.policy
file. On Solaris, the file is in ${catalina.home}/conf. The permission you
need to add is
permission java.io.FilePermission "/var/tomcat4/conf/server.xml"
"read";
It should go into a "grant" section that pertains to the invoking code. See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/PolicyFiles.html for the
syntax and meanings. See
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/security-manager-howto.html
for the modifications that Tomcat (at least version 4) makes.
