SecurityException thrown when run from an applet
------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2-884
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-884
Project: Apache Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
Type: Bug
Components: deployment
Reporter: Shreyes Seshasai
Java applets are given fewer security privileges than stand alone applications
by default. When trying to run an Axis2 client from a java applet, it may not
have all of the privileges required by some of the calls in the Axis2 code,
causing SecurityExceptions to be thrown. Examples of these calls are
System.getProperty() and File.listFiles().
A suggested fix would be to enclose these calls in try/catch(SecurityException)
blocks, and assign default values to the variables which failed to be set.
Known affected files:
org.apache.axis2.deployment.FileSystemConfigurator.java
org.apache.axis2.deployment.RepositoryListener.java
Adding the try/catch blocks here allowed the applet to start and function
correctly. However, the problem probably exists in other locations in the code
too. I was only using limited functionality (no additional modules or
databinding). Since applets cannot read files from the file system, I'm unsure
how this affects other axis2 functionality.
