I got to thinking about this tool problem. Here is a a bit of basic work on a tool to generate a catalina.policy file. Time will tell if it's useful. Someone may have already solved this problem, but it's all fun.

Good day. This is a newbie question. Having spent a bit of time manually editing via trial and error my catalina.policy file just right so my webapp would run leaves me wondering whether there is a tool that can be responsibly used to show you what the policy file should look like if the app is to get its job done. I spent a lot of time examining the various security violations in catalina.out, and concluded that while it may not be trivial, it is conceivable that a tool could automate the production of a farily fine-grained policy file to show you what the app ideally needs to run. And you could edit from there as needed. Are there such tools? Thank you. -- Mark AE6RT
