I read that some security configuration is needed to run JAI correctly.
The problem is that we didn't install JAI as recommended by sun because
we are on MACOSX. We just install some jars in the java extension
directory.
Here is what I read in the sun documentation :
----------- Sun doc -----------
If $JAI is the base directory where Java Advanced Imaging is installed,
create a text file named $JAI/policy containing the following:
grant {
// Allow everything for now
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
---------------------
The problem is that I don't have a $JAI directory since we didn't
install it as excepected by sun.
My question is the following :
How can I do the same thing without $JAI directory ?
Just a hunch (not being a MacOSX expert), but couldn't you just create the JAI
environment variable & point it at the java extensions directory where you've
installed the jars. Then, create the policy document in there too?
If you don't like that, how about pointing $JAI at /etc/jai (create it) and
putting the policy in there?
