Can someone confirm that all-permissions is working for JavaFX apps that are launched via Web Start with Java 8.0 and use daemon threads in a Service?
I have a JNLP file that has: <security> <all-permissions/> </security> and the manifest of my app's jar has the following instruction in my Gradle script: jar { manifest { attributes('Permissions': 'all-permissions', 'Codebase': '*') } } I'm using the javafx gradle plugin and signing the jars... e.g. I see this for every dependency and the main jar: ... Signing (BLOB) C:\Users\scott\.m2\caches\path\to\some.jar Signed as C:\Users\scott\dev\MyProject\build\libs\some.jar ... I even tried System.setSecurityManager(null); in my start() method (and it lets me do it). However, daemon threads started by my Service are unable to use reflection. (It is working in the main FX application thread.) I see the following stack trace in the Java console: Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission" "suppressAccessChecks") at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source) at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source) at sun.plugin2.applet.FXAppletSecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject.setAccessible(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.lang.RuntimePermission" "accessDeclaredMembers") at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source) at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source) at sun.plugin2.applet.FXAppletSecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Class.checkMemberAccess(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethod(Unknown Source) at ma.glasnost.orika.property.PropertyResolver.resolvePropertyType(PropertyResolver.java:304) at ma.glasnost.orika.property.PropertyResolver.processProperty(PropertyResolver.java:240) at ma.glasnost.orika.property.IntrospectorPropertyResolver.collectProperties(IntrospectorPropertyResolver.java:83) ... 33 more I bring it up here because FXAppletSecurityManager is involved and this smells like a possible bug in plugin2 Regards, Scott
