Re: Unable to migrate a Tomcat 5.5 webapp to Glassfish

another question:

where can I found the "application specific policy file" in the Glassfish ?
the type and the extension of this file is server dependent ?

the configuration files of cejug-classifieds are into the folder
WEB-INF/jaas - because I“m reading and setting the values manually.

I recognize now I was using the Tomcat in the unsafe way - but I want to use
the security manager. Then I will study a bit more about security and also
about security in Glassfish. Any guidance will be valuable.

best regards,

    Felipe Gaścho
