JAWS & JAXB Problem

[chubixqube]

Did anyone else use JAXB?

We get the following error when we try to run Webstart:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext read)
   at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
   at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
   at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
   at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPropertyAccess(Unknown Source)
   at java.lang.System.getProperty(Unknown Source)
   at javax.xml.bind.ContextFinder.find(ContextFinder.java:269)

   at javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext.newInstance(JAXBContext.java:323)
   at javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext.newInstance(JAXBContext.java:244)

It seems that JAWS has some issues with JAXB.  Any ideas why?  Is this because we didn't sign?

Thanks!

The exception trace is very clear: access was denied to a Property that JAXBContext was trying to read.  You can either add a '<security>' section in your JAWS file which asks for this permission, or else sign your applet and give it all permissions.

There seems to be some discussion of this at google "jnlp jaxb site:sun.com".
