[legolas wood <le...@gmail.com>]

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
Does any one tried and used derby under a security manager a a policy file?
I tried to use it under a security manager and a policy file but my 
policy file never take effect.
indeed derby ignored any policy that i defined.

is there any sample policy file out there? I tries sample policy file 
which is included in Derby reference? and it does not take affect.


Thanks

Yes, over 95% of Derby's functional tests run with a security manager.

How are you setting up the security manager and policy file, and can you 
provide the policy file you are trying?

Also how are you determining that the policy file never takes effect?

Thanks,
Dan.

one thing that has tripped me up in the past is I copied the sample
policy file *exactly* :

   grant codeBase "file://f:/derby/lib/derby.jar" {
   ... deleted for brevity ...
   }

There's no "f" drive on any of my systems. :-) So be sure to change that
line to specify the full path on your system.
