catalina.policy

If myapp is deployed as a war, how do I create a grant entry in
catalina.policy to allow writing to my log file? I tried

grant {
	permission java.io.FilePermission
"${catalina.home}/logs/myapp_debug.txt","write" ;
}

But it didn't work.

Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.io.FilePermission /logs/myapp_debug.txt write)
