Hi there, I installed tomcat5 via Fink on Snow Leopard 10.6.1 kernel 64 bits:
amadeus[2249]:/sw/var/log/tomcat5% $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh version Using CATALINA_BASE: /sw/var/tomcat5 Using CATALINA_HOME: /sw/var/tomcat5 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /sw/var/tomcat5/temp Using JRE_HOME: /Library/Java/Home Server version: Apache Tomcat/5.5.26 Server built: Jan 28 2008 01:35:23 Server number: 5.5.26.0 OS Name: Mac OS X OS Version: 10.6.1 Architecture: x86_64 JVM Version: 1.6.0_15-b03-219 JVM Vendor: Apple Inc. Tomcat's webapps examples works fine now with security manager after some tweaks in catalina.policy. (added lines shown below) grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/bin/tomcat-juli.jar" { permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "setContextClassLoader"; [snip] permission java.io.FilePermission "${catalina.base}${file.separator}webapps${file.separator}jsp-examples${file.separator}WEB-INF${file.separator}classes${file.separator}logging.properties", "read"; permission java.io.FilePermission "${catalina.base}${file.separator}webapps${file.separator}servlets-examples${file.separator}WEB-INF${file.separator}classes${file.separator}logging.properties", "read"; }; And tomcat webapps examples now works fine with tomcat 5.5.26 and Sun Java 1.6.0_15-b03-219. However, what I want is MY application working with security manager. After some reading and lots (and lots) of try and error (catalina.out log helps, but it could helps more...) I came to this set of policies for my application: grant { //PiMS permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getProtectionDomain"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessDeclaredMembers"; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessClassInPackage.org.apache.jasper"; permission javax.management.MBeanPermission "*", "*"; permission javax.management.MBeanTrustPermission "register"; // permission java.util.PropertyPermission "cglib.debugLocation", "read"; permission java.net.SocketPermission "127.0.0.1:5432", "connect,resolve"; permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks",""; permission javax.management.MBeanServerPermission "createMBeanServer"; // permission java.util.PropertyPermission "net.sf.ehcache.*", "read"; // permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.io.tmpdir", "read"; permission java.io.FilePermission "./conf/pims_log4j.properties", "read"; permission java.io.FilePermission "./conf/Hibernate.log.txt", "read, write"; permission java.io.FilePermission "${catalina.base}${file.separator}webapps${file.separator}pims${file.separator}WEB-INF${file.separator}classes${file.separator}logging.properties", "read"; }; It works now, but the problem is the line: permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read,write"; If I comment this line and uncomment the others, I got that in catalina.out: [snip] INFO: XML validation disabled Read of system Properties blocked -- ignoring any configuration via System properties, and using Empty Properties! (But any configuration via a resource properties files is still okay!) java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission * read,write) at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:323) [snip] at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:433) Read of system Properties blocked -- ignoring any configuration via System properties, and using Empty Properties!

If so, how then can I find out what "java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission * read,write)" wants to tell me? Obviously I am doing something wrong, but the fact I've been playing with that for more than a week and I'm getting really tired, which is likely weakening my sense of observation and reason and I am probably skipping something obvious if not the whole thing at all. Any help would be very very appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Alan -- Alan Wilter Sousa da Silva, D.Sc.
