Re: Policy files
Thanks for the quick answer but it seems I didn't explain my situation
completely.
We use Maven for all assignments, I can control what base project they
have to use for a specific assignment. Also in my testsuite I
automatically build these projects and deploy the artifacts to my
embedded tomcat.
The problem is when it comes to the policy files. Where do I need to add
the path to the policy file for the base maven projects of the students?
Is there any option in context.xml or so that I can use?
The second problem is that I want to configure the policy for each
student project when deploying on embedded tomcat(since the students
could change the file in their projects). Where do I have to configure
the policy when instantiating the StandardContext myself? I saw that the
Loader of the context is of the type WebappLoader and the ClassLoader is
a WebappClassLoader. I also found a method addPermission in
WebappClassLoader, but I don't want to parse the policy file myself and
add the permissions one by one. Isn't there an attribute to set the
policy for that class loader?
So to summarize it a bit, I want to know what to configure in e.g.
context.xml(if that is the place where to configure the policy) to have
a specific policy applied.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
