I have no idea why the security mechanism was changed. All I can tell
you is that I had the same problem with RMI stuff (on Solaris, even)
until I both gave all permissions to jre/lib/ext codebase AND created a
.java.policy file in my home directory which was identical to the
default java.policy file.
This could be a bug in the VM; on the other hand, this could also be the
intended functionality. I don't know for sure since I'm not involved in
the Java security development.
