Hi Tomcat users,

I wish for one of my web apps in Tomcat to execute another program on my computer using the exec method. I know that I can’t currently do this due to the security restrictions. 

I have tried changing the Catalina policy file but I’m unsure of exactly what to do so it didn’t work. Can someone please advise me of exactly what I need to add or modify in order for my web app to have all permissions. 

I am aware of the security risks but at this stage it is more important that I get my application to work. My web app runs as a servlet and is in a web app directory called ruddis.
 

try the following in catalina.policy:

// These permissions apply only to your application
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/webapps/<<your webapp>>/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
