Geronimo must add Java2 security to run with security manager
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-3938
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3938
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: Windows XP, JDK 1.5
            Reporter: Dan Becker
             Fix For: Wish List


Attempting to start or stop Geronimo server with a Java 2 security manager 
causes Geronimo to throw AccessControlExceptions. This indicates that there are 
some priviledged access to system resources within the Geronimo runtime that 
are not guarded by AccessController.doPriviledged blocks.

To recreate, switch to Geronimo target bin directory.
Turn on the Java default security manager (e.g. 
JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.security.manager -Xms512m -Xmx512m)
Start Geronimo, either geronimo start or gsh.
See exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
