RMI Security Manager problem porting from Win2k to HP-UX

[Duarte Loreto]

Hello!

I have an AppServer (JBoss) where I deploy some EJBs and have some dynamic class loading code. This makes me need a different java.policy file and a security manager.

In windows, I created a new java.policy
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
and modified the app startup to specify -Djava.security.policy=%TEST_HOME%/java.policy -Djava.security.manager

It works great.

Then I ported the app to HP-UX. I did the same thing.
-Djava.security.policy=$TEST_HOME/java.policy -Djava.security.manager

and the app fails when calling a bean with the following stack trace:
16:39:56,143 [ERROR,ProxyProxy] getClasses
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: BusBeanHome

Where "Worker" is my class that does dynamic class loading using a string (class pack.name) from a file and BusBeanHome is the Home interface of the bean it is trying to invoke.

I'm 99% sure that this is JVM configuration on the policy side or something similar. Could anyone help on this?

Thank you for reading!
