Hi Linda,
Now that we agree on the intent of the clause, maybe I could suggest an
alternative to my alternative... :-) It was pointed out in a private

"The Java EE Product is not required to support permissions.xml files that
specify permission classes that are packaged in the application."

Thanks, Kevin
