Hi Stefan,

Not sure your case is entirely analogous, but passing this along on the
outside chance.

A colleague encountered a similar problem using JAXB with Java WebStart.
He solved it with this technique:

     There are a couple places where we read system properties to
     get the name of a class. I have wrapped those 2 places in a
     doPrivileged block, wrapped in a try/catch block. If a
     AccessControlException is thrown I set the class name to the
     default value passed to System.getProperty.

See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/security/AccessController.html
for more info and caveats.

Regards,
