Example: Sample security policy for logging

 

Set up a security policy to allow your applications to modify logging and handler properties.

The sample security policy that follows grants access to the file system and runtime classes. Include this security policy, with the entry permission java.util.logging.LoggingPermission "control", in the META-INF directory of your application if you want your applications to programmatically alter controlled properties of loggers and handlers. The META-INF file is located in the following locations for the different module types:

EJB projects	ejbModule/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Application client projects	appClientModule/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Dynamic Web projects	WebContent/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Connector projects	connectorModule/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Below is a sample security policy that grants permission to modify logging properties:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// WAS Security Policy
//
//////////////////////////////////////////////////

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Allow all access to the file system and runtime classes
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// grant codeBase "file:${application}" {
   permission java.util.logging.LoggingPermission "control";
};
