Problem:
While opening the a java applet, you face below
exception
Cause:
The java.policy file present in the java installed
directory to which Java TM plugin is pointing is not having permission to write
user.timezone value.
Solution:
1.
Locate the java.policy file of
Java TM browser plugin
1.1.
The link “http://www.javatester.org/version.html”
says about how to find java version, however I am still looking for the exact
way to locate java.policy file which is being referred by Java TM browser
plugin.
1.2.
This file is present in java
installed directory, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\security
1.3.
If you are not sure about the
location then I will suggest you to add grant in all the java.policy files
present in your computer in all the drives.
2.
Add below entry in “grant {….}”,
this is the last grant snippet in the file.
2.1.
permission
java.util.PropertyPermission "user.timezone", "write";
I am not going into the details of security
implications of this setting, so please do your own due diligence on whether this quick fix will suffice in your own situation.
Thanks to Vikrant Korde for today's Tip!
