UPDATE THE JAVA POLICY FILE
Instructions to Update the Java Policy File
Locate the “java.policy” file --- C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\security
Open the file with WordPad, add this line to the permissions, and Save the File:
// Standard extensions get all permissions by default
grant codeBase "file:${{java.ext.dirs}}/*" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;};
// default permissions granted to all domains
grant {
// Allows any thread to stop itself using the java.lang.Thread.stop()
// method that takes no argument.
// Note that this permission is granted by default only to remain
// backwards compatible.
// It is strongly recommended that you either remove this permission
// from this policy file or further restrict it to code sources
// that you specify, because Thread.stop() is potentially unsafe.
// See "http://java.sun.com/notes" for more information.
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "stopThread";
// allows anyone to listen on un-privileged ports
permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1024-", "listen";
permission java.net.SocketPermission "proxy:8080", "connect,resolve";
// "standard" properies that can be read by anyone
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.version", "read";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vendor", "read";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vendor.url", "read";
