AccessController use

         Key: LOGGING-107
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGGING-107
     Project: Commons Logging
        Type: Bug

    Versions: 1.1 Final    
    Reporter: Simon Kitching


A problem has been reported with 1.1 by Aaron Bruegl on 6/6/06. An 
AccessControlException is being thrown in an applet invoked from javascript 
even when the logging lib has been signed and granted permissions.

LogFactoryImpl.java:1250 in the 1.1 release has this line:
            // try the parent classloader
            currentCL = currentCL.getParent();
which does seem to be a likely cause for the exception.

This code should be executed under an AccessController, so that granting the 
logging jar the appropriate permissions can fix the problem; without this, all 
calling code also needs to have that permission.

Maybe we should wrap method discoverLogImplementation in an AccessController, 
covering all cases like this?
