Maarten Coene resolved IVY-1211.
--------------------------------
Assignee: Maarten Coene
Fix Version/s: 2.2.0
Resolution: Fixed
Fixed in trunk in 2.2.x branch.
The following changes were made:
- only set the IvyAuthenticator if the protocol is "http" or "https"
- only log a warning if the permission isn't there to set the default
authenticator
Could you give it a try to see if this works for you?
> Use IvyAuthenticator only when it is really necessary

>
> Currently, Ivy uses BasicURLHandler to locate resources and to open an input
> stream on it. According to the implementation of the release 2.1.0, the
> constructor of the BasicURLHandler forces the JVM to load the
> IvyAuthenticator class. This action will have to assume that the
> "java.net.NetPermission: setDefaultAuthenticator" has already been granted to
> Ivy, since the IvyAuthenticator will set itself as the JVM's default
> authenticator.
> However, It will fail in web application when the web container does not
> grant the NetPermission to ivy. It will causes the whole web application
> failed because the class BasicURLHandler cannot be initialized.
> Also, sometimes the user only needs to load some resources in its own
> application's classpath, in which case there is no need to use an
> authenticator, thus no need to grant Ivy the "java.net.NetPermission:
> setDefaultAuthenticator". However, currently the user has to grant the
> permission even if this makes little sense. It will be better if the
> BasicURLHandler uses IvyAuthenticator only when it is really necessary.
