I am encountering an odd problem with Tomcat (6.0.18). When the Java security manager is enabled, I get a ClassNotFoundException when I try to load the Postgres database driver using Class.forName() and a URL classloader pointed at a jar; its parent classloader is the Webapp classloader.
But, when the Java security manager is disabled, everything works smoothly and no ClassNotFoundException is thrown. I've stepped through the code (using Eclipse's debugger) and not found anything that stands out, and I've set a general breakpoint on all SecurityExceptions, caught or uncaught. None are thrown. Has anyone else encountered a problem like this? Is there a way for the Java security manager to block a class from loading without a SecurityException being thrown? Jonathan P.
