Missing FilePermission

Question

Hi everybody,
I'm facing a nasty problem that has to do with FilePermissions. I'm using J2EE RI V1.3 and SOAP V2.2 to build a simple web services on a W2K machine. I have successfully deployed the soap.war on my local host but as soon as I try to deploy any web service that comes with SOAP V2.2 package, I get the following message:
Ouch, the call failed:
  Fault Code   = SOAP-ENV:Server
  Fault String = Error saving services registry: access denied (java.io.FilePermission d:\j2sdkee1.3\bin\DeployedServices.ds write)J2EE is using <J2EE_HOME>lib/security/server.policy where I have the following entry:
grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.enterprise.home}/public_html/-" {
    permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read,write";
};Shouldn't this entry allow the deployed soap code to access any file?
Thanks,
Enrico

Answer 1

FYI, I found the cause of my problems: I had by mistake not only deployed soap.war but I had also included soap.jar in the j2ee classpath. At run time the jar code was used instead of the deployed war code. The former had no grants to read or write any file, in other words the security system is working correctly. Once I removed soap.jar from the classpath, I was able to successfully deploy my webservice.
