java.security.PrivilegedActionException in Jython scriptdef
Hi,
I'm a newbie here and a newbie to Jython and scripting in Ant. In that
vein:
I've created a scriptdef task which I wrote in Jython. I'm using BSF as
the manager. My intent was to delete files within this task. Everything
works right up to the point where a file is to be deleted, when I get this
exception:
eraseZipFiles:
[delete-in-each-child-dir] Processing ap
Oct 27, 2008 4:15:59 PM org.apache.bsf.BSFManager exec
SEVERE: Exception :
java.security.PrivilegedActionException: org.apache.bsf.BSFException:
exception
from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 25, in ?
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Delete.handle(Delete.java:624)
at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Delete.execute(Delete.java:570)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
at
sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.
java:39)
That's when I smacked my forehead and said to myself, "Self, you're
working in a sandbox you idiot."
Of course I can solve this issue any number of ways, but I was wondering
if there was some way to "disable" the security manager? Would I have the
same issue if I used javax. as the manager? I hope so because I've found
scripting with Jython to be very effective.

well, there's still a security manager getting in the way -it is
security related problem. Otherwise you'd have seen the error message/

Thanks Steve. You were correct of course. I was evidently trying to delete
files in a directory that didn't exist! Who would have thought that would
result in a security related exception. Bad on me for jumping to the
conclusion I jumped to. All is working properly now.

Ant has a very minimal sandbox that is designed to stop you calling
system.exit() and nothing else. So I'm pretty surprised by this. Maybe
its BSF Manager at play
1. Looking at the stack trace, you've just tried to create a directory
that isnt there
} else if (!fsDir.isDirectory()) {
handle("Directory does not exist:" + fsDir); //here
2. Is there a version of Jython for the Java6 scripting engine? Ant can
work with that instead.
