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

["Paul Rosenthal" <paul.rosenthal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the advice below.  It seems to be the right advice in theory, but
for some reason, still doesn't work.  I am guessing that perhaps connections
to Oracle require some additional permissions we don't know about.

I have solved the problem with:

permission java.security.AllPermission;

only in the tomcat.policy.custom


Thanks and regards

Paul Rosenthal
