Import a policy file in java 1.5

Hi:
The quesiton I am about to ask might not really relate to java programming...but I have no idea where else I can get help. I am an university student and my school use a online java submission system. In order to hand in my java programs, I need to set up a new policy so that I am able to up load the files. However, school hasn't been able to help people who use java 1.5 to fix the problem. Can somebody kindly help me solve the problem. Thank you for your time.
here is the policy file which I have no idea where to put it
grant codeBase "https://www.scs.carleton.ca/raven/-" {
permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read, write, delete";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read";
grant codeBase "https://raven.scs.carleton.ca/-" {
permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read, write, delete";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read";
};

You can put it anywhere you like.
Then in the command line where you start the application that needs to use it you do this:java -Djava.security.policy='whereveryouputit' ...Unless the application that needs to use it loads its security policies in some other way.

  • Java: Where are JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files for Java for Mac OS X 10.7?

    I need to install the JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files for Java 1.6 under Mac OS X 10.7.  I know where to get then from the Sun/Oracle Java download site, but want to make sure that these will work on the Mac.  Or, are there Mac specific versions somewhere?

    There's a  jce.jar file in /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/, so it appears that they're already in place, but that's just a WAG.

  • Differences in JCE policy files between java 1.4 and 1.5?

    I'm using a app that needs JCE unlimited strength policy files to start. Attempting to start with limited strength policy files with Java 1.4 installed will give:
    java.security.InvalidKeyException: InitVerify error: java.lang.RuntimeException: engineGetKeySize() is not supported by this cipher!
    however, running the same app on java 1.5 with limited strength policy files does not give this problem. I've checked http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html#AppE and http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html#AppE and the maximum allowed keysizes are identical. Has something else changed in the JCE policy files between these java versions? Can anyone tell me what's going on?

    String s = "String " + i + " Being " + i + "concatenated " + i + "using " + i + "String" + i + "Builder";
    If I compile this in 1.4 ( i.e using javac -source 1.4); the decompiled code looks the same.
    But if I do so in 1.5 ( i.e if I decompile the same code compiled using javac -source 1.5), this is how it looks:
    public void StringConcat(){
    int noOfIter = 10000;
    for(int i = 0; i < noOfIter; i++){
    String s = (new StringBuilder).append("String ").append( i).append( " Being ").append( i).append( "concatenated ").append( i).append( "using ").append( i).append( "String").append( i).append( "Builder").toString();
    The above was the compile time optimization I was talking about.What makes you think that the decompiler is not the problem?
    The ONLY difference between 1.5 and 1.4 in that case is that one uses StringBuilder and one uses StringBuffer. And StringBuffer is faster.
    Just wanted to know, are there any other differences in compile time optimizations between 1.4 and 1.5.I suggest that you go look at the read me. And I also suggest that you become familar with byte codes and stop assuming that a decompiler is going to tell you anything.

  • How import policy file with Java Web Start

    hi everybody,
    I wrote an application launched by Java Web Start.
    This application encrypt data on the client side and POST them to the server.
    To encrypt I use JCE packages including sunjce_provider.jar, jce1_2_1.jar and
    local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar.
    local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar are not packages, each of them contains
    a policy file.
    When I test encryption on local no problem, but when I test with Java Web Start
    I've got this exception :
    java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError:
    java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot set up certs for trusted CAs
    It's because the application launched by Java Web Start doesn't find local_policy.jar
    and US_export_policy.jar.
    There's a problem in my JNLP file :
    <jnlp spec="1.0+" href="http://myserver/sources/test.jnlp" codebase="http://myserver/sources">

    thank you for your answer

    Hi Nicolas,
    If you migrate to JDK1.4 and use the signed Bouncy JAR, you could resolve the problem,
    if you don't want to use unlimited cryptography.
    See my posting on your other question.
    Agnes
    PS. There is a mistake in my other reply, the "local_policy.jar" and the other files must have
    to go into JRE/LIB/SECURITY directory

  • How do you use .wsse policy file from Java Client?

    I'd like to call a WSSE enabled web service from my Java client but setup my encryption/signing requirements with a .wsse policy file.
    I know how to call a web service by programmatically setting up the security headers as described in:

    Hi Kavitha,
    Have a look at the sample available at

    As far as I am aware of, you would not be able to import the contents of a biar file to a specific folder.
    Why would you want to use a biar file to import contents to a different folder?

    I think I solved the problem. At least I managed to delete the file :-)
    First I had to add the following line to JRE's java.policy file:
    permission java.io.FilePermission "/path/to/file/delete.me", "delete";Then I added the following entry to the server's server.policy file:
    grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-apps/MyApp-" {

  • How to import a tcl package in Java

    Hi,
    I want to convert an existing tcl file into a java source file. In my existing tcl file, some tcl packages have been imported, using the syntax
    package requires XML
    where "XML" is the name of a tcl package.
    But I am not sure how to import this tcl package in my Java code. Also, how can i call tcl procedures from Java code. The tcl package file contains a set of tcl procedures.
    Please let me know that
    1> How can I import/call a tcl package in a Java code.
    2> How can I call a tcl procedure in a Java code. The tcl procedure is contained in the tcl package file.

    I have searched the url provided by you. But I couldn't find anything relevant to my requirements.
    They have basically explained about how to call a Java program from a tcl code using java::call command
    But they haven't provided anything related to importing tcl package files inside java source.
    Please let me know your opinion on this issue.

  • Java.policy file  - Must I change it?

    I just got a certificate from Verisign with which I signed my applet. It works fine and now I want to distribute it to a group of users.
    Back when I was developing the applet with a self-signed cert, I changed the java.policy file to allow the applet to do things 'outside the sandbox'.
    I thought, perhaps mistakenly, that when I got the Verisign ceritifcate I would not need to concern myself with java.policy in any way. But now, even with the Verisign cert, my applet won't run correctly w/o the updated policy file.
    This is only important to me as I do not want to go around to 'x' number of user workstations and modify each java.policy file.
    Am I missing something??
    thanks

    You mention
    "you should be able to remove the policy file and users can just accept the certificate "
    I experience the same, remove all policy files, signed applets can then access resopurces on the local machine. However, practically all the documentation I read regarding JAVA 2 (I'm using 1.4.1_02) says you must have a policy file when using a signed applet. At least they say sign your applet and then indicate what the policy file should look like to grant specific permissions for that applet. I find no policy file will still allow a signed applet to access local files... Is this a bug in JAVA 2 1.4.1_02, or the correct behavior. thanks in advance.

    I know this is a relatively old post, but some people can stumble on this page when doing a search for this problem.
    Anyway, I ran into this on my PC after I installed Sybase which had an older jre.
    Solution:
    1. Run regedit
    2. Look for Java Runtime Environment
    You may have to do multiple searches. Eventually you'll find one with the version number.
    3. Modify the value and change it to the correct version number. (in your case, you would have changed it from 1.4 to 1.6).
    This is much quicker than reinstalling Java every time installing something that uses an older version of Java hoses up the registry value.

  • How to create a custom java client Security Policy File?

    I have a stand-alone java client which invokes a .NET WSE 3.0 enabled web service. The web service SOAP header requires username token to be passed from my java client.
    Could some one kindly provide a sample of a client-side Security Policy File?
    Your help is very much appreciated.
    Mike

    This is still a workaround...
    But if you put checks on all your forms to see if the user has accepted the terms (assumes there is an attribute tracking this) then you can redirect the user to the terms/conditions forms. Still not spoof-proof, but it would be bookmark proof. (and a pain if you have too many forms)

  • Java Kernel and the "Unlimited Strength Java Crypto Extension Policy Files"

    Is Java Kernel able to download and install on-demand the "Unlimited Strength Java(TM) Cryptography Extension Policy Files"?
    Currently, I have to instruct the users of my applications to download those policy files from Sun's website and follow the installation instruction. I haven't received any positive feedback from my users when I told them to do this task. I understand them. Manual installation of this files really suck especially for lay men.
    So, with Java Kernel, what's the plan? Can I hope for something better?

    I believe, for US export-control reasons, the Unlimited Strength JCE policy files are never automatically downloadable by the JVM - they have to be explicitly downloaded and configured. However, you could download it yourself, configure the JVM with the policy files, create your own ZIP/JAR file and internally distribute it to your users through your intranet. But, if you do this, you are responsible for complying with the applicable export laws of your country, and perhaps, Sun licensing terms for redistributing the JVM.

  • How to handle the java.policy file ?

    Can somebody tell me how to handle the java.policy file?
    I always get java.net.SocketExceptions and java.security.AccessControlExceptions while connecting to an appserver from an applet.
    What do I have to write in the java.policy file, where do I have to place it and do I have to call it in some way form my applet?
    Thanks in advance.

    The java.policy file goes in your jre installation directory in .../jre/lib/security (there should be one there already).
    I used it to allow otherwise restricted permissions for an applet using javax.comm. Add something like the following to the file:
    grant codeBase "URL:http://yourDomainName/rootDirectoryOfYourApp/*" {
         permission java.security.AllPermission;
    This will give the applet downloaded from your site all permissions. You might want to give only certain permissions, I don't know.
