web service security permissions

[Daniel Keltner <da...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm a new user and I ran into an issue when trying to
use a client to test a sample web service I deployed.

When I run the client, I get a
java.lang.IllegalAccessException message.

I have a Java class file that I wanted to use for my
service. I placed it under the
webapps/axis/WEB-INF/classes directory. I created a
deploy.wsdd file and deployed the service without any
errors.  

My service basically has a method that takes a string
argument (a city name) and returns a string of
information for that city.  The method actually calls
another class which extends the ContentHandler
interface. This class reads in an XML file, searches
for the city name, and parses out the information for
that city. (The other class and the XML file are also
in the ~/classes directory.)

When I run this class from the command line and invoke
the method, it works fine with no errors.

One of the guys I work with suggested that it may be
due to the "java.policy" or "catalina.policy" (I'm
running under Tomcat) security permissions that could
prevent the class from reading in the XML file if the
class gets called from a web application context.

The client I'm using is similar to the one in
userguide/example3. It compiles fine. I invoke it
with:

% java Client
-lhttp://localhost:9075/axis/services/CityWeatherSearch
"Orlando"
java.lang.IllegalAccessException: CityWeatherSearch
(I'm running tomcat on port 9075)

Anyone out there run across this problem before? Any
ideas how to deal with it?

Thanks for any help,

Dan
