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

[Greg Davis <bugmang@xxxxxxx>]

That makes perfect sense. I just kept getting the error that the 
classes directory was causing the error. I ended up using the following 
to get it to work but I'm going to try and "do it right" rather than 
this brute force method:

grant {
	permission java.security.AllPermission;
}

this lets all servlets do anything you want.
Thanks again for your help.
