Thanks for the help. The bad news is that after i turned on the GlassFish security manager, I get an error deploying the app even before getting to that failed permission check.
Exception starting filter AuthFilterJAAS
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission getenv.FEDORA_HOME)
When the app starts, it looks for the FEDORA_HOME environment variable so that it can launch the server process, but I think the security manager is blocking that. If I turn off the security manager, the app loads, but I get the GF Admin Console problem.
If this problem is caused by the Configuration.setConfiguration, how do I get around it? Would I have to modify the fedora app to use a different JAAS config? Thanks!
