Awesome! Thank you so much for figuring this out Renne.



So, here are the exact steps in case anyone else has the same problem. These steps are for Tomcat 5 and Apache Axis2.



1) First we want to check and make sure the problem is a policy problem. Edit the file /etc/default/tomcat5 (file://etc/default/tomcat5).

Change...

# Use the Java security manager? (yes/no, default: yes)

#TOMCAT5_SECURITY=yes

To...

# Use the Java security manager? (yes/no, default: yes)

TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no



2) Restart



3) Go to... http://localhost:8180/axis2/

If you are able to view the welcome screen, it is a policy problem.



4) Go back and edit /etc/default/tomcat5 (file://etc/default/tomcat5).

Change...

# Use the Java security manager? (yes/no, default: yes)

TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no

Back to...

# Use the Java security manager? (yes/no, default: yes)

#TOMCAT5_SECURITY=yes



5) Create a new file in the directory /etc/tomcat5/policy.d (file://etc/tomcat5/policy.d) to contain the policy permissions. I created a file named APACHE_AXIS.policy, but it doesn't matter. All the files in this directory get added to the file /usr/share/tomcat5/conf/catalina.policy (file://usr/share/tomcat5/conf/catalina.policy)



6) In the file you just created add...

// permissons for apache axis2

grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/webapps/axis2/-" {

permission java.security.AllPermission;

};



7) Restart, things should be working now. :)



If anyone notices that something is wrong please let me know. Again, all credit goes to Renne.
