I honestly don't know. I don't really understand what exactly what the fixes are doing and why they're needed. I put the ms jdbc driver jars into system/lib under the j2ee install so I wouldn't have security problems like this. Why doesn't the section below take care of the driver jars?
// Drivers and other system classes should be stored in this
// code base.
grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.enterprise.home}/lib/system/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
Is is because the SocketPermission needed by the driver doesn't fall under java.security.AllPermission? If that's the case, why doesn't the cloudscape driver need it too? I may be wrong about this but doesn't it ultimately connect on a socket through rmi?
Also, I've put this in instead on the "<<ALL FILES>>" line and it also works. Does this lock the secruity down better?
permission java.io.FilePermission "${com.sun.enterprise.home}${/}lib${/}system${/}msutil.jar", "read";
One more question. Does the added grant section appy to all code running under the j2ee server since it doesn't have a codeBase qualifier? If so, maybe it could be locked down better with a codeBase. I'm through experimenting for now, though, but will continue to watch this thread for new posts.
