Java Server Pages (JSP) files within OSGi applications cannot use Java 2 security

Troubleshooting


Problem

If you enable Java 2 security, the JSP files within your OSGi applications cannot carry out any privileged actions until you apply a set of interim fixes.

Symptom

If your JSP code attempts to carry out a privileged action, a security exception is generated. The permission details are specific to the privileged action that has been attempted. For example:

0000002e SecurityManag W   SECJ0314W: Current Java 2 Security
policy reported a potential violation of Java 2 Security
Permission.

Permission:
(service.id=51) : Access denied (org.osgi.framework.
ServicePermission (service.id=51) get)

Adding the required permission to the permissions.perm or was.policy file for the application does not resolve the security exception.

Resolving The Problem

Apply the following fixes, which are available from the IBM Support Fix Central Web page:
