Message:

Use a diiferent policy file

Posted by Sunil Chowgale on August 17, 2001 at 8:06 AM

hi,

even i used to get this exception while using policy.all policy file. its a bad habit of using grant permission to all. i tried with a different policy file wherein i specified as permissions as below.

/*
* This is an example policy file for the lookup service's activation group.
* You should be able to use this as-is if you use reggie.jar as an
* executable jar file, or if the classpath you use when running
* com.sun.jini.reggie.CreateLookup is just a single jar file or a single
* directory with a trailing slash. Otherwise you need to replace the
* codebase string below. If you want the lookup database stored somewhere
* other than in /tmp/reggie_log/, then change that as well.
