Security Manager, Policy File and Orion

[dchandra]

Is anybody out there know how to run Orion with a security manager and a
policy file?
I have a very simple servlet which whose init method looks like the
following:

     String parameter;

     public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
     {
          super.init(config);
          parameter = config.getInitParameter("log-file-path");
           try {
               File file = new File(parameter);
               if (!file.exists() || !file.isDirectory() )
                    file.mkdirs();
          }
          catch(Exception e )
          {
               System.err.println("Failed to verify directory: " +
parameter);
               System.err.println(e.getMessage());
               e.printStackTrace(System.err);
          }

     }

I start Orion as follows:

java -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy
==file:/C:/Orion/java.policy  -jar orion.jar

The java.policy file is:

grant  {
  permission java.security.AllPermission ;
};

But I always get an AccessControlException in the  file.exists() call in
the init method.
