Where to put java.policy file?

Under which directory the "java.policy" file must be kept in?

Hi!
The policy file must be indicated in the command line or by system property, when you starts the service, like the following: -Djava.security.policy = yourfile.policy. If you want to indicate another directory, you can do like this: -Djava.security.policy = C:\temp\yourfile.policy.
I hope it helps you,
Sandra.

  • ".java.policy" file where is this located

    Hi,
    Where is the .java.policy file located. Do I have to create it? Do I have to use any editor for this? Please help me.
    Thank you,

    It'll probably be in the lib/security directory of your JRE.
    If you've got a JDK then it'll be something like jdk1.3/jre/lib/security/java.policy

  • 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.
    don call

    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.

  • File Access with unsigned Applet through editing the java.policy file

    I'am starting to lose my hair on this...
    I am trying to get an applet to run so that it can access the file system to move files on my local maschin. Because this applet is only running on my VM i can change the java.policy to avoid the signing of the applet.
    first of all, if i wrote in the java.policy file
    grant {

    };everything is working perfekt.
    But I have not the intention to open the gates for any applet out there, so i want to limit the access to my applet. With every of the following versions I get at best an

    I read the mentioned documentation and your right, some of my versions were wrong, but after reading the doumentation again i came to following result which should had worked but didn't.
    java.policy
    grant codeBase "http://admin.mydomain.com/*" {
      permission java.security.AllPermission;
    HTML File
    <applet codebase="http://admin.mydomain.com/" name="shortcut" code="start.class" archive="applet.jar" height="0" width="0"></applet>if I am entering http://admin.mydomain.com/applet.jar i can download the jar, so the archive lays in the correct directory.
    what i am doing wrong? do i have to change an additional file somewhere else?

  • Can distribution of a .java.policy file be eliminated

    Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm fairly new to the realm of dealing with Java security...
    I have an applet that I want to deploy worldwide as part of an upgrade to an existing website, but I've run into the following error:
    "Error getting connection to: jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.0.101)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=EKB)(SERVER=DEDICATED))) using oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission oracle.jserver.version read)"
    I have managed to figure out that I can eliminate this problem by placing a .java.policy file on all client machines that contain the following:
    "grant {
         permission java.util.PropertyPermission "oracle.jserver.version", "read";
    However, is there any way to eliminate the need to distribute the policy file to those wanting to use the web site's applet? Can it be done somehow within the SSL certificate that I seemingly also have to distribute?
    Any help for this newbee would be appreciated!

    In contrast to what many people say in this forum, it is possible to have an unsigned applet access a database. You don't even have to manipulate the client's policy-file. The requirement is that the database is located on the same machine as the applet is downloaded from.There are however other things that can break this possibility. One is the database-driver itself.
    In the case of Oracle we have tried using different versions of the driver. When using version 8.1.7 or 9.0.1 things work nicely, but when switching to version 9.2 it stops working. There is a question on OTN [1]. Let's see what Oracle has to say about it.

  • Where to put java code - Best Practice

    Hello. I am working with the Jdeveloper 11.2.2. I am trying to figure out the best practice for where to put code. After reviewing http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26098_01/web.1112/e16182.pdf it seemed like the application module was the preferred spot (although many of the examples in the pdf are in main methods). After coding a while though, I noticed that there were quite a few libraries imported, and wondered whether this would impact performance.
    I reviewed postings on the forum, especially Re: Access service method (client interface) programmatically . This link mentions accessing code from a backing bean -- and the gist of the recommendations seems to be to use the data control to drag it to the JSF, or use the bindings to access code.
    My interest lies in where to put java code in the first place; In the View Object, Entity Object, and Am object, backing bean.....other?
    I can outline several best guesses about where to put code and the pros and cons:
    1. In the application module
    Pros: Centralized location for code makes development and support more simple as there are not multiple access points. Much like a data control centralizes services, the application module can act as a conduit for different pieces of code you have in objects in your model.
    Cons: Everything in one place means the application module becomes bloated. I am not sure how memory works in java -- if the app module has tons of different libraries are they all called when even a simple query re-execute method is called? Memory hog?
    2. Write code in the objects it affects. If you are writing code that accesses a view object, write it in a view object. Then make it visible to the client.
    pros: The code is accessed via fewer conduits (for example, I would expect that if you call the application module from a JSF backing bean, then the application module calls the view object, you have three different pieces of code --
    conts: The code gets spread out, harder to locate etc.
    I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

    Stuart

    First point here is when you say "where to put the java code" and you're referring to ADF BC, the point is you put "business logic java code" in the ADF Business Components. It's fine of course to have Java code in the ViewController layer that deals with the UI layer. Just don't put business logic in the UI layer, and don't put UI logic in the model layer. In your 2 examples you seem to be considering the ADF BC layer only, so I'll assume you mean business logic java code only.
    Meanwhile I'm not keen on the term best practice as people follow best practices without thinking, typically best practices come with conditions and people forget to apply them. Luckily you're not doing that here as you've thought through the pros and cons of each (nice work).
    Anyway, back on topic and off my soap box, as for where to put your code, my thoughts:
    1) If you only have 1 or 2 methods put it in the AppModuleImpl
    2) If you have hundreds of methods, or there's a chance #1 above will morph into #2, split the code up between the AppModuleImpl, ViewImpl and ViewRowImpls. Why? Because your AM will become overloaded with hundreds of methods making it unreadable. Instead put the code where it should logically go. Methods that work on a specific VO row go into the associated ViewRowImpl, methods that work across rows in a VO go into the ViewImpl, and methods that work across VOs in the associated AppModuleImpl.
    To be honest which you ever option you choose, one thing I do recommend as a best practice is be consistent and document the standard so your other programmers know.
    Btw there isn't an issue about loading lots of libraries/imports into a class, it has no runtime cost. However if your methods require lots of class variables, then yes this will have a memory cost.
    On a side note if you're interested in more ideas around how to build ADF apps correctly think about joining the "ADF EMG", a free online forum which discusses ADF architecture, best practices (cough), deployment architectures and more.

  • Essential question concerning java.policy file

    I have been searching this forum for an answer to this question:
    Is there a way to run a signed applet on an intranet (via the Plugin) with out having to go around to each user's workstation and change their java.policy file?
    So far, I have seen this question asked several times but with no concrete answer.
    Thanks for any help!

    You can create your own Policy implementation as shown in the following link :
    http://www.javageeks.com/Papers/JavaPolicy/index.html
    This has some drawbacks.
    I overcame your problem by writing my own Security Manager.

  • .java.policy file problem

    Is there someone who knows how to reinitialise the java policy file at runtime?
    My signed applet writes a policy file to the users home directory, but that file is only used after closing the browser and surfing back to our page. It should immediatly use that new file.
    Someone who got some experience with that...?
    Regards

    And is it true that if you use a Thawte or verisign certificate, you will not have to change the .java.policy file?

  • 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.

  • Where to put the properties file

    I am a new user of NetBeans6.0, I am making a simple application for user registration. I have coded everything but when I run project I get error caused by the dao.properties file load problem.
    I have put the dao.properties file inside the classes directory(where all java class files are build after running the project) of my web application directory( I didn't create this directory though, it is automatically created by IDE), I think there is a problem with its path.
    where should I put the dao.properties file so that when I run the project the Tomcat automatically find it and also, what the settings I should do?
    actually, I have referred to BalusC'd  DAO tutorial: the data layer but that comes in use when we are working off the IDEs, In my case since I am using Netbeans so it may be different from that one.
    if someone already done that then please let me know

    ok, but will it work if I upload the project in a remote host?
    lets talk besides IDE, as in your DAO tutorial you have instructed to put the properties file somewhere in root of the classpaths. ok, it will work on a local computer cause there is classpath setting but since remote host doesn't know about that property file and we cant set classpath at remote host(I am not sure though if we can) then how will it work at remote host.
    how the server at remote host comes to know about that property file?
    In my case since I have made the project using IDE and everything regarding classpaths have been set automatically(IDE done itself), but at remote host these sort of settings are not done then how the project will run?
    if I have described my problem incorrectly then please consider it as it is supposed to be.

I've searched all over the web and haven't found any information about this.It doesn't work like that, that's why there's no info. You can't load 3D LUTs into the camera. There are pre-contructed 3D LUTs already in the camera's 3.0 firmware referred to by Sony as "Looks", but as of FW 3.0, you can't load your own. If in the future they do allow this, it looks as though 3D LUTs from Resolve would first have to be loaded into Raw Viewer and converted into something more camera friendly, and then Raw Viewer wrotes it to an SD card in the correct file/folder structure. You CAN do 1D LUTs today though, using Raw Viewer.

    In this way you will not have any more the problem where to put a dll and what you have to do with it.
    This program should be used into application server it is not necessary to put it into db server.
    If you have problem regarding unzip of dimensions then you have to check if you have into client side into C:\Program Files\BPC the dll xceedzip.dll and you have to check if this was correct register. (using regsvr32).
    I hope this help to understand what is that dll and what you have to do to complete the installation of SAP BPC server.
