Re: [cobalt-developers] Help with external jars/servlets...

Hi Greg,


Coincidentically, I have been fiddling around with tomcat.policy files 
on a RaQ550 myself over the pas few days. I think the error you get is 
due to the jar file in the lib directory that isn't allowed to be read. 
Perhaps this may work :

grant codeBase "file:/home/.sites/28/site1/web/WEB-INF/-"{
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
}


Kind regards,


Wouter van Reeven
