failure editing group permissions

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Yes, there is a problem, and it's named "Oracle Application Server" ;)

Anyway, there is a fix for it. I did it in another parts of the application, but forgot to add to the permission control.

You can get the fixed XMLPermissonControl.java class from the CVS.

Thanks for reporting it.

Sorry, I should have specified:
JForum 2.1.5 (built from CVS source)
Server Oracle Application Server (10g)

I think there's a problem with attemtping to read/write to Permissions.xml

O.K. thanks.
My CVS knowledge is limited - how do I get that specific class from CVS.
what folder does the class go into?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

well, I guess I can just look at the package statement to figure out the folder.
I'll try to figure out the CVS piece.

Got it - I'll test with the new XMLPermissions.java and let you know.

thanks.

Perfect!
Incorporated changes - rebuilt - redeployed - works perfect.
Thanks
