java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup

Posted by Eric Chang on September 12, 2001 at 10:39 AM

I was wondering if anyone had experienced this problem before. I am attempt to call a "helper" class method from a .jsp page. This helper class has a method that will conduct a transform of a XML string that is passed in with an XSL file that exists locally. However, I can create the Transformer and all the Streams fine, but when I call the transform method from the Transformer class, I get this error:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePerfmission modifyThreadGroup)

Anyone know a way around this? I tried creating my own SecurityManager, but apparently, the browser itself creates a SecurityManager, and I'm fairly inexperienced with .jsp and security in general.
Thanks.
