AccessControlException: Servlet -> Web service

[Bertrand Fontaine <fo...@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

I am using Axis to connect to a SOAP Web service *from* a Java servlet. An 
exception is thrown that prevent my servlet to run:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission 
client-config.wsdd read)
...

If I understand the problem correctly, the exception is thrown on the first 
attempt of Axis to find client-config.wsdd, which is an attempt to find it 
on the file system. The SecurityManager under which the servlets are run by 
Tomcat intercepts the call and throws the AccessControlException.

I have tried configuring tomcat.policy and tomcat.policy.<site name> but had 
no clue to solve this problem. I guess I am not the first to run into this 
problem. Please note that disabling the SecurityManager is not an option. 
Any hint?

My config: Tomcat 3.2.3 run by a JRE 1.3.1 on a Linux/Cobalt Raq4 server.

Thank you,

Bertrand
