I'm new to this list (been lurking for awhile though)...I first want to send my thanks to all at Blackdown for doing a great job; you are helping further the cause of Linux and Java and it is much appreciated. Now for my question... I installed the latest release version (1.1.7v1a) on a Linux 2.0.36 box (RedHat 5.2). Everything seems to work fine *except* for RMI. When I attempt to run rmiregistry, I get the following exception: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: java.lang.SecurityException at java.util.Hashtable.<init>(Hashtable.java:145) at sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl.<init>(RegistryImpl.java:72) at sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl.main(RegistryImpl.java:216) I'm unsure what this is telling me. Why is instantiating a Hashtable object triggering a SecurityException? Remember that this is "rmiregistry" throwing this; not one of my classes. Any help would be appreciated.
