Limitation on Java 2 security application policy on WebSphere Application Servers

The ${application} policy in the Java 2 policy security files (for example was.policy) applies only to the EAR project.

If you are using any of the following servers:

• WebSphere v5.x test environment server¹

• WebSphere Application Server v6.0 with Run server with resources within the workspace enabled

The policy will not affect the modules that are contained in the EAR, for example EJB, Web, or connector module. The security policy of the modules should be set using the individual modules policies, for example using ${ejbComponent}, ${webComponent}, and ${connectorComponent}.
