[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-2397) Running within an Applet throws an AccessControlException

["Bertrand GILLIS (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2397?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14154886#comment-14154886 ] 

Bertrand GILLIS commented on PDFBOX-2397:
-----------------------------------------

Until this issue is fixed, adding the following line in your JRE java.policy will temporarily solve it:
{code}
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "org.apache.pdfbox.ICC_override_color", "read";		
{code}
However this workaround is not really possible in my use case.

We don't really want to update/maintain this file on each working station of our network.

> As soon as PDFBox is embedded in a signed applet, the following exception is thrown when I try to print a PDF document through PDFBox:
> {code}
> Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "org.apache.pdfbox.ICC_override_color" "read")
> 	at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)

> 	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.graphics.color.PDColorState.<clinit>(PDColorState.java:50)
> {code}
> This issue was also in previous PDFBox versions for the following instruction:
> {code:title=BaseParser.java}
> FORCE_PARSING = Boolean.getBoolean("org.apache.pdfbox.forceParsing");
> {code}
> But it was fixed in later versions:
> {code:title=BaseParser.java}
>   static {
>     try {
>       FORCE_PARSING = Boolean.getBoolean("org.apache.pdfbox.forceParsing");
>     }
>     catch (SecurityException e) {}
>   }
> {code}
> This fixed is unfortunately not set for the current property:
> {code:title=PDColorState.java}
> private static volatile Color iccOverrideColor = Color.getColor("org.apache.pdfbox.ICC_override_color");
> {code}
