RE: [cobalt-developers] tomcat.policy.custom & permission for external hosts

["alpo" <alpo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You need the following:
permission java.net.SocketPermission "<putRequiredDomainNameHere>:1521",
"listen,connect,resolve";

or 
permission java.net.SocketPermission "*:1521", "listen,connect,resolve";
for all hosts.
