create index can fail under the SecurityManager when trying to access files in 
the tmp folder of a database
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-616
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-616
     Project: Derby
        Type: Bug
  Components: Store  
    Versions: 10.0.2.1, 10.1.1.0, 10.2.0.0    
    Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner
    Priority: Critical


Seen in tests lang/wisconsin.sql and jdbcapi/maxfieldsize.java when running 
with the network server and the new security policy file that grants permisions 
on a per-jar basis. Unless permission is given to the network serve code (since 
it is in the stack) to access temp files in the database the test will fail.

  permission java.io.FilePermission 
"${derby.system.home}${/}wombat${/}tmp${/}-", "read, write, delete";

Most likely the temp files are being accessed in without a privileged block.

Easy to reproduce once the new policy file changes are checked in (see 
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/SecurityManagerTesting) by removing the 
permission in the derby_tests.policy  file and running these tests using the 
jar files.
