[jira] Commented: (JS2-205) Using Tomcat Security Policy breaks RdbmsPolicy

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-205?page=comments#action_12323188 ] 

David Le Strat commented on JS2-205:
------------------------------------

I am revisiting the RdbmsPolicy and how policies get loaded in addition to the RdbmsPolicy.  They are quite a few issues with the current implementation including the recursive loop reported above.
