hello, I am trying to run a simple webapp on tomcat 5.0 with the
security manager enabled
i.e with the additional options -Djava.security.manager
-Djava.security.policy=%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\catalina.policy for the tomcat
JVM.
I get the following Stack Trace when I point the browser to my webapp
exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet
struts-controller threw exception

I tried digging into the code of AccessController [
http://www.docjar.com/html/api/java/security/AccessController.java.html]<http://www.docjar.com/html/api/java/security/AccessController.java.html>
where I gathered that public static native <T> T
doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction<T> action); throws a NullPointerException in
case the action is null
I am not able to understand the reason for the action being null.
Has it something to do with missing native library files?
I have given all permissions to the webapp in catalina.policy. hence I feel
that missing privileges should not be an issue.
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/webapps/adminconsole/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
I am trying running tomcat on Lin 64 an the Java version is 1.4.2
Please help
