Sun One version 8 and permissions --- Help Please

[Brian Clay]

Hello all,
We are in the process of converting our application from WAS 5.1 to Sun One 8.0 (due to pricing and technology). Part of our application relies heavily on the Lucene full text search package.
The problem that is happening is that when Lucene is building the index for searching we are getting "access denied" errors when the indexer attempts to delete a lock file.
It seems that the application server or the application itself does not have the correct permissions to delete elements in the directory. Unfortunately, the design of the application requires that our users be able to define the directory their index will be built in and they can change this at any time.
Does anyone know if there are any steps within the Admin client of v8 that can update the security an application can have on the file system?
Thanks,
Brian Clay

I figured it out.
For those that might have the same problem.
Locate either <application>.policy or java.policy -- depending on how secure you want this to be -- within the Application server directory and add the following line:
permission java.io.FilePermission "<directory path>", "read,write,delete";
Not very dynamic but it works.
