Yes, I did try the double equal. It resulted in "=C:/<path>/jspwiki.policy" being reported by my JSP. From yours and Andrew's replies, it seems that the real problem (beside the NPE) was that I was being spooked by the message in the log of finding the local policy file along with the absence of any message regarding finding the "global" policy file. Maybe logging indicating the acquisition of the global policy file would help others from making the same bad assumptions.
If I understand correctly now, I can put the out-of-the-box jspwiki.policyfile back and all should be good with my current installation. While I've lurked on these lists for the past couple of years, I've been so consumed at my last job which ended last Friday, that I've not been able to give back. With my current position requiring far less travel, I will becoming far more active. BTW, I think my current HUGE client is going to switch from MediaWiki to JSPWiki.
