Double file permissions required in WAS 6.1
-------------------------------------------
Key: CONFIGURATION-391
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-391
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.5
Environment: - WebSphere AS 6.1with J2EE securit enabled
- AIX
Reporter: Stéphane Van Espen
We are using Commons Configuration as follows:
{code}
final PropertiesConfiguration config = new
PropertiesConfiguration("velocity.properties");
{code}
_Noteworthy points_:
- properties files are embedded in JARs
- Application is deployed in WAS 6.1, where J2EE security is activated
(was.policy)
*Problem is the following*:
Two entries are necessary in _was.policy_ in order to make the application work.
Example:
{code}
permission java.io.FilePermission "velocity.properties","read";
permission java.io.FilePermission "/home/wasadmin/velocity.properties","read";
{code}
The first entry is valid.
The second entry (with "/*home*/*wasadmin*/...") is wrong but necesarry in
order to make WebSphere happy.
We would like to remove this second entry (useless and less secure) from our
was.policy.
What could be the cause of this issue ?
Thank you,
