The security measures in Java 2 are policy-based for more access control than in JDK 1.1. When code is loaded, it is assigned permissions based on the current security policy. Each permission specifies a permitted access to a resource, such as read and write access to a file or directory. Unless a permission is explicitly granted to code, the code cannot access the resource that is guarded by that permission. Security policies are initialized from a security policy file.
The dynamoEnv file includes a Java argument that gives the path to the JDK security policy file in the Dynamo library directory, at <ATG2007.3dir>\home\lib\java.policy. This security policy file permits console redirection so that Dynamo client interfaces can display system error messages in the Java console window. For more information about Java 2 security policies, see the Security section of Sun’s Java 2 documentation.
