>
> When configuring Ivy through IvySettings, a call to System.getProperties() is
> made.
> System property calls are typically disabled through the security manager in
> shared web containers which results in the following stack trace:
> java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
> (java.util.PropertyPermission * read,write)
>
> java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:323)
>
> java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:546)
> java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:532)
>
> java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPropertiesAccess(SecurityManager.java:1252)
> java.lang.System.getProperties(System.java:582)
>
> org.apache.ivy.core.settings.IvySettings.addSystemProperties(IvySettings.java:294)
> org.apache.ivy.core.settings.IvySettings.<init>(IvySettings.java:290)
> org.apache.ivy.core.settings.IvySettings.<init>(IvySettings.java:212)
> Since there is no out-of-the-box workaround, Ivy cannot be used in such an
> environment.
> Ivy could be made more web app friendly by providing a flag to disable System
> property lookups.
> It would be useful to configure this flag through API on the IvySettings
> class.
> Any other usage of system properties outside of the IvySettings file should
> also be controllable.
