Hi all,
I have installed Tomcat 6.0.18 on my Ubuntu dev box (using the Synaptic
Package Manager), but it wouldn't start a deployed ESME instance.
The ESME instance in question was from the latest Subversion drop, and
worked fine in Jetty (mvn jetty:run). I then built a War file (mvn
war:war), rename the resulting esme-0.2.3-SNAPSHOT.war file to esme.war
and deployed to Tomcat using the Tomcat Web Application Manager. The
result is that I could see the deployed application in the Tomcat
Manager, but it would not start.
The Tomcat log file had the following error:
02-Jan-2009 12:28:56 org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: HTMLManager: start: Starting web application at '/esme'
02-Jan-2009 12:28:56 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext filterStart

The problem is highlighted in the "Caused by" exception:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.util.PropertyPermission user.name read)
The simple solution is as follows - just turn off the Tomcat security
manager, which is enabled by default with the Ubuntu package.
/etc/init.d/tomcat6:
TOMCAT6_SECURITY=no (instead of yes)
The more complex solution would be to specify the correct security
policy commands, but that is beyond the scope of this email...
I hope this helps someone,
Darren
