IO02565: ECLIENT82 JAVA VIEWER GETS JAVA.SECURITY.ACCESSCONTROLEXCEPTION:ACCESS DENIED WHEN CLICKING "X" TO CLOSE & SAVE ANNOTATIONS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is using the java appletviewer with the eClient 8.2.
  They have upgraded their java plugin on client machiens to java
  1.4.2 (or java 1.4.2_0x where x is the release). They add
  annotations to the document & then clikc the top right "X" to
  close and then save the changes. The annotations fail to save
  properly. Looking at the java console, the customer sees the
  following exceptions
  
  Exc. at writeText() is java.security.AccessControlException:
  access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission file.encoding read)
  Exc. at writeStamp() is java.security.AccessControlException:
  access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission file.encoding read)
  
  This is a javascript/java communication issue.  When the user
  closers the viewer by clicking the "X" some of the closing
  checks are performed outside the applet and hence need
  javascript for the communication. This is due to security
  improvements made to the java 1.4.2 jre. The JVM considers calls
  made from javascript to a java object 'not secure' even if the
  java code is signed, therefore the security exception
  

Local fix

• 1. Always click the Save button first before clicking on the
  "X".
  
  or
  
  2. downgrade the java plugin
  

Problem summary

• The eClient Java viewer receives an exception when clicking "X"
  to save annotations
  

Problem conclusion

• fix in fp10
  

Temporary fix
