OK. I've realised that TC should handle security and now it works - on 
5.0.19, imbeded in JBuilder.

Well, I meant ot say it partially works. This is what I have set:

-Djava.security.manager
-Djava.security.policy=.../conf/catalina.policy
-Djava.rmi.server.codebase=http://localhost:8080/MyApp/classes/

All seams to work except, I get a class cast exception when I cast this:

Object obj = Naming.lookup( "//localhost/Search" );
SearchRMI search = (SearchRMI) obj;

The funny thing is, when I inspect the result from the JBuilder, it 
shows that obj is of a class SearchImpl_Stub, which implements SearchRMI 
interface.

I suspect I'm being hit with some RMI classloader issue, so my next 
question is:

Has anyone done this? And what am I doing wrong?

Nix.
