AccessControlException

[Ronnie Phelps]

I'm having trouble starting my server. Here are the contents of my policy file.
java.policy:

grant {
java.security.AllPermission;
};

This is how I execute the command:

java -Djava.security.policy=java.policy learning.rmi.Request

Here's the exception I get

java.security.Policy: error parsing file:C:/learning/rmi/java.policy
java.security.Policy: line 2: expected permission entry
Exception in thread "main" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (

[john d]

you need to put "permission" in front of the call like this!
grant {
// Allow everything for now
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
hope it helps

Thanks John. I had already figured it out but I guess i chosed the wrong forum to post it in, because "Distributed java" doesn't seem to be very popular. Thanks anyway dude.
