RE: Why need read privilege on upstream folders to achieve a writ e permission

[Ritu Kedia <RK...@saba.com>]

Alas! I hit the source of the bug!! The culprit was jdom.jar in
<JBoss_Install_Dir>/lib. Slide uses a different version of jdom.jar. I
suspected this all the while that it was some third party jar. But the error
message gave no hint of which 3rd party jars to look for. Anyways... my
mistake.. I should have checked all the jars in the lib directories that
have a higher precedence than the deployed war. Well, better later than
never.

Thanks Oliver for your responses.

Regards,
Ritu

This sounds like there is room for optimization, right? Why not always 
allow read access to data that is never returned to the outside? Peter, 
is it this you wanted to indicate?
